RyothChatty ridiculous rating

Whitech It is not only a funny movie, but it allows a great amount of joy for anyone who watches it.

Teddie Blake The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.

Ezmae Chang This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

cnl-87767 I was so looking forward to see Ricci play Zelda Fitzgerald, and was looking forward to watching this series all together because I love this time period and I loved The Great Gatsby, but I was extremely disappointed. The acting, I thought, was excellent and I have nothing to complain about on that part but I found every episode to have absolutely no satisfaction. Each episode seemed to get more and more difficult to watch. I understand this is a story based on the events of a real person and I shouldn't be wishful that they would add too many scenes just for the viewers pleasure. I'll have to research into the life of F.S.F to see how accurate this is because this was painful to watch. I was hoping this would excite me into reading Gatsby again but it's done the opposite. I couldn't happily read it again.

Olinthecity I cannot believe the negative reviews for this series! I am extremely interested in the Jazz Age/Flapper/Prohibition era as well as the Fitzgeralds who were true embodiments of this time period.I think it was beautifully filmed, and despite what some reviewers say, I believe Christina Ricci was an excellent choice to play the complicated Zelda Fitzgerald. I won't drone on and on but just need to say I am so disappointed this wasn't picked up for at least one more season.One more thing: I am so tired of special effects/vulgarity/and fast-paced MTV generation short attention span dialogue that is found in most contemporary shows and films!

netmedia Christina Ricci as Zelda is a bizarre choice. She is almost 20 years older than what Zelda would have been at the time this story takes place. I could understand someone 5-8 years older, but 20, No. She is not able to play a teenager and looks more a matron than a flapper. Granted she is an attractive women, but a teenager she is not. This is a compete waist of time.

MarketaN I looked forward to this show since its pilot in 2015. Mostly because I am interested in this famous couple. But I must confess that I was bored the first half of the first season. One episode has only half an hour and it still seemed to be unfulfilled. I almost stopped watching it but the other half somehow caught my attention. The mise-en-scene balances showing glamorous era with realistic depiction. It is believable.It is adaptation of a book focused on Zelda's story. It is Zelda's point of view. She is the heroine. But unfortunately character of F. S. Fitzgerald is depicted as a villain. For me it was not good choice to show F. Scott Fitzgerald as such a negative character. In society is big question about their relationship, who were they actually. So in the story I would appreciate more questionable representation instead of such black and white characters. At least based on season one. Maybe creators change their direction if season two takes place. Christina Ricci is fairly good choice for this role. On the other hand, David Hofflin is just hardly believable. Maybe it is problem of casting in the first place. Supporting woman roles are delightful, little caricatures of people of that era. For now, the show did not mean waste of time for me but neither a miracle.
