What they share

Both films are directed by Jack Clayton. If that's the register that drew you to Something Wicked This Way Comes, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What The Great Gatsby is

A meditation on the American Dream, served lukewarm. Gatsby throws parties and pines for the love of old flame Daisy Buchanan. It's all lushly filmed, though perhaps too faithful to its source material to really catch fire.
