	Author	Review
United States	Roger Ebert Chicago Sun-Times	"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)"	NEU
United States	Jay Cocks Time	"Gatsby's sad and curious history has resulted in a dull, dreadful movie."	NEG
United States	Vincent Canby The New York Times	"Nothing that Mr. Clayton does with the actors or with the camera comes close to catching the spirit of Fitzgerald's impatient brilliance"	NEG
United Kingdom	William Thomas Empire	"One long party, dripping with champagne, and it all gets rather tedious watching other people enjoy themselves (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"	NEU
