Parents say this film is visually stunning and embodies the glamorous yet morally ambiguous world of the 1920s, appealing primarily to older teens and adults due to its mature themes, including alcohol use, infidelity, and emotional turmoil. While many found it entertaining and worthy of discussion, there were concerns about its message, as it glosses over the critical social themes from the original novel, ultimately making it more of a romantic drama than a focused critique of the American Dream.
