What kind of watch this is
Baz Luhrmann’s 2013 adaptation is a 143-minute spectacle of neon and excess. It treats the Jazz Age as a fever dream where every party is a warning. The film leans into the visual over the verbal, letting the music do the heavy lifting. It is loud, it is bright, and it refuses to look away from the wreckage. Press play if you want to see what happens when you try to buy back the past.
What the critics said
Rotten Tomatoes sits at 48% as of March 2024, a number that suggests the film divides audiences more than it unites them. Metacritic lands on 55 out of 100 as of June 2025, which its rubric files under mixed or average reviews. The critical consensus notes that Baz Luhrmann’s adaptation emphasizes visual splendor at the expense of the source material’s vibrant heart. It is a dazzling thing that feels somewhat hollow.
Joe Morgenstern of The Wall Street Journal called it "a spectacle in search of a soul." Christopher Orr of The Atlantic observed that when the movie is entertaining, it is not Gatsby, and when it is Gatsby, it is not entertaining. That is a precise way to describe a party where the music is too loud to hear the conversation.
How it did with audiences
It took in $354 million worldwide, a figure Deadline Hollywood calculated as a $58.6 million profit after expenses. In North America, it opened with $51.1 million, placing it second behind Iron Man 3. That specific weekend marked the second-largest opening for a Leonardo DiCaprio film, trailing only Inception. On TMDB, users rate it 7.3 out of 10.
Awards
The film took 14 awards from 15 nominations. Catherine Martin won the Academy Award for Best Costume Design and Best Production Design in 2014. She also won the AACTA Award for Best Costume Design and Best Production Design in 2013. Baz Luhrmann won the AACTA Award for Best Film and Best Direction in 2013. It is a tally that suggests the production design department did most of the heavy lifting.
What came next for the cast
Tobey Maguire traded web-slinging for a return to the franchise a decade later, while Carey Mulligan moved from period dramas to sharper, darker leads. Joel Edgerton went from Jedi chaos to more grounded drama. Leonardo DiCaprio kept climbing, landing in The Revenant and later films. The credits cannot say Gatsby caused any of that. They just mark the point where these paths diverged.
