Fabulous

Rating: 8/10 (23 April 2018)

Fabulous. Over the top. DiCaprio perfect. Faithful to the book with Maguire as Nick Carraway looking uncannily like Fitzgerald himself. The book is almost impossible to transfer to the screen as language is a large part of its effect. Cleverly, Luhrmann has thus made Fitzgerald's text part of the movie by having Carraway narrate it and even writing the words on the screen as he says them.
