| Original Score: C+ | Feb 18, 2012

Another strikeout, further destroying F. Scott Fitzgerald's film batting average.

| Original Score: C | Nov 2, 2005

No green light but the one mistakenly given to start production.

Full Review | Nov 1, 2005

I still thought there were enough good performances, great visuals, and an interesting examination of a lifestyle in a way that we haven't seen a lot of times in movies for me to recommend it.

| Original Score: D | Oct 29, 2005

An unpolished but entertaining tragedy filled with outstanding performances and memorable moments.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Oct 28, 2005

[A] poorly acted, directed and written (but slick-looking) vanity project.

Full Review | Original Score: 1/4 | Oct 28, 2005

The women are shrewishly materialistic, the men are manipulative or violent and the Polo wardrobes look fabulous on everyone. It's an ugly affair overall, but at least you can say you've never seen such beautiful shirts.

Full Review | Original Score: 1.5/4 | Oct 28, 2005

The book was about class and the American dream. The movie is too, though it's most interested in the soap opera machinations of the plot.

Full Review | Original Score: 2/4 | Oct 28, 2005

Christopher Scott Cherot's drama is an honorable attempt laid low by a verbose script, cheap production values, and a general tendency toward soap opera.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Oct 28, 2005

There is scarcely a minute's worth of believable human behavior on display in G, which builds to a climax as incoherent as it is ludicrous.

Full Review | Oct 28, 2005

The decadent world of Hamptonite hip-hop moguls is a fitting backdrop for this somewhat faithful but not very graceful retelling of F. Scott Fitzgerald's 'Great Gatsby.'

| Original Score: 1.5/5 | Oct 27, 2005

The filmmakers are going for something operatic here with their mix of love and loss, rap and race. They miss. By a lot.

| Original Score: 1.5/4 | Oct 27, 2005

The problem with G is not merely that the ending doesn't work and feels hopelessly contrived. It's also that the plot adds too many unnecessary characters and subplots, so that the main line gets misplaced.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Oct 27, 2005

In nimbly sidestepping the burden of textual fidelity, director Christopher Scott Cherot's freeform Fitzgerald riff captures the novel's sense of unrequited yearning better than any of Hollywood's more slavishly faithful attempts.

| Oct 27, 2005

[It] would be a fascinating exercise -- both artistic and anthropological -- if one word of G were authentic, artful or even borderline believable.
