Only for Gatsby adaptation completists

Rating: Null/10 (24 May 2019)

Visually scintillating, which makes it very watchable, despite its failings. It has the momentum and stylings of an early-'80s Duran Duran pop promo, and just about as much meaning and profundity. Questionable casting in the shape of Mulligan and Maguire render the film flimsy and devoid of all impact. The Robert Redford version is still very much the definitive telling of this Great American tale, which has been much re-told. Only for Gatsby adaptation completists.
