When they arrive in Manhattan, Gatsby does not tell his parents that are planning a fancy party in the evening.

Along the rainy weekend in New York, Gatsby and Ashleigh have new experiences and discoveries. Written by Claudio Carvalho, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil
It is really sad such a great cast got wasted on this film. I've seen both Elle Fanning and Timothée Chalamet play characters with immense depth, and yet these roles striped them of all that with poor dialogue and such a soulless story. It was really disappointing to say the least, I was excited to see this cast work together, but a story really does matter.
