VIEWER REVIEWS
What viewers say about The Great Gatsby
Selected viewer reactions, in their own words. These excerpts reflect individual opinions, not an overall verdict.
Viewer reaction
“An over the top portrayal of the classic novel, while at times excessive and tasteless, it truly hits home with the novels original critique on…”
Viewer reaction
“Baz Luhrmann repeats what he did with Rome + Juliet and creates a horrible moster full of FX and exaggeration.”
Viewer reaction
“To be fair to Baz Luhrmann, this is actually quite a difficult story to adapt for the big screen.”

“See I don't know how to review this because I came into it hating the novel, and it's 2022, it took me over a decade…”
