2013143 min7.3 / 10

A visually sumptuous but ultimately tragic exploration of obsession and the American Dream's hollow core, set against the glittering excess of the Jazz Age.

An adaptation of F. Scott Fitzgerald's Long Island-set novel, where Midwesterner Nick Carraway is lured into the lavish world of his neighbor, Jay Gatsby. Soon enough, however, Carraway will see through the cracks of Gatsby's nouveau riche existence, where obsession, madness, and tragedy await.
