Critics' reviews

"The Great Gatsby is a superficially beautiful hunk of a movie with nothing much in common with the spirit of F. Scott Fitzgerald's novel (...) Rating: ★★½ (out of 4)"

Roger Ebert: Chicago Sun-Times
"Gatsby's sad and curious history has resulted in a dull, dreadful movie."

Jay Cocks: Time
"Nothing that Mr. Clayton does with the actors or with the camera comes close to catching the spirit of Fitzgerald's impatient brilliance"

Vincent Canby: The New York Times
"One long party, dripping with champagne, and it all gets rather tedious watching other people enjoy themselves (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"

William Thomas: Empire
