Am I the only one who constantly has to remember which are the Carey Mulligan roles and which are Michelle Williams'? It's Mulligan in Gatsby, right?

Of the various “Great Gatsby” films, the 1974 version starring Robert Redford is considered by many to be the most watchable, which is saying something. Reviewing that movie in The New York Times, Vincent Canby called it “as lifeless as a body that’s been too long at the bottom of a swimming pool.” Critics were (a bit) kinder to the most recent “Great Gatsby,” directed by Baz Luhrmann in 2013 and starring Leonardo DiCaprio. A. O. Scott, the co-chief movie critic for The Times, called it a “splashy, trashy opera” that was “eminently enjoyable.” But Mr. Luhrmann’s glossy approach horrified some purists. A. Scott Berg, a Pulitzer Prize-winning author and Fitzgerald authority, assessed Mr. Luhrmann’s film this way: “Don’t get me started on that.”

"....A. Scott Berg, a Pulitzer Prize-winning author and Fitzgerald authority..."
Isn't it funny how they trot out the "Pullitzer prize winner" crap whenever they want to fool gullible readers into thinking they know
what they are talking out!
First of all A. Scott Berg knows as much about movies as he does about Charles Lindbergh.
OH wait! didn't he want the Pullitzer for his Lindbergh bio?
Indeed he did .
And, people who actually know something about Lindy also know that ASB whitewashed his Nazi connections and sympathies. In fact the prose reads almost as an apologia for CL's shameful behavior.

"Brooks Barnes"? Didn't he used to play for the New York Jets?
No, you are thinking of Brooks Robinson of the Baltimore Orioles
