The Great Gatsby: Midnight in Manhattan is a fascinating dive into the world of F. Scott Fitzgerald and the era he wrote about. It doesn't just skim the surface; it really digs into the roaring 1920s, the highs and lows of Fitzgerald's life, his struggles at Princeton, and his complex relationship with Hemingway. The documentary has this raw, gritty vibe that feels almost like a time capsule, capturing the essence of that period. The pacing is a bit uneven, but it adds to its charm, and the interviews, while sometimes meandering, offer a candid look at the man behind the words. It's distinctive for how it connects the literary with the historical, painting a fuller picture of Fitzgerald's darkly creative psyche.
