| Sly FoxKam WilliamsA riveting reinterpretation for the Hip-Hop Generation apt to be best appreciated by fans of gangsta' rap videos weaned on shallow, hedonistic displays of misogyny and materialism. |
| East Bay ExpressKelly VanceSooner or later, we have to get down to people talking to each other in a room somewhere. |
| Lyles' Movie FilesJeffrey LylesLuhrmann doesn't so much make films as he does experiences and he's done it again with a luxuriously engaging extravaganza that all but renders another adaptation of F. Scott Fitzgerald's classic unnecessary. |
| Mountain Xpress (Asheville, NC)Ken HankeLuhrmann's film captures the essence of the book in ways no other version has -- giving us Luhrmann's brilliant imagining of it and how he sees and responds to the story. |
| John Hanlon ReviewsJohn HanlonAn ambitious, multi-colored triumph, this film will be hard to forget. |
| Cinema SightWesley LovellA stunning recreation of 1920's New York that sticks as close to its source material as it can while delivering an engaging adaptation. |
| FILMINK (Australia)Cara NashLuhrmann understands Fitzgerald's book and brings the writer's classic prose to life on cinematic terms that feel thrilling, visceral and immediate. |

| Laramie Movie ScopeRobert RotenI haven't seen any of the other Gatsby adaptations, but it is safe to say none of them look as colorful and jazzy as this one. This one is like combining the July 4 celebration in Washington with Mardi Gras in New Orleans. |
