I Loved It.

I wasn't so sure when going in. I think Lurhman has a lot of skill bot not always the best focus.
That is to say that often he uses strong technique but in a way that makes a scene about the technique more than the story.
His films have always been likable but not totally fulfilling for that reason.
The Great Gatsby however as lush and as beautiful as it was was done in a way that the visual style and technique always serves the story. Never just calling attention to itself.
I go to the movies a lot and this is really one of the best films I have seen in a long time.
A masterpiece? Absolutely.
