I enjoyed this (FG) far more than current Bway Gatsby (BG). Largely because it understood the book, where BG did not and tried to make it a romance.
Like Kad, I hated the preponderance of ballads ..all performed down center in a spotlight.
Did I LOVE FG? No. But there were many elements that worked really well. Enough so that I went back to see it a second time to see whatever growth there might have been since the second (third?) preview
I hope to get to see Cromer's vision!
If we're not having fun, then why are we doing it?
