Ratings and reviews

Excellent documentary! Scott and Zelda were addicted to each other, but I believe there was powerful love there too. Any good 12 step person will tell you that you spend the rest of your life trying to re-create that initial buzz, but you can't reduce a great writer like Fitzgerald to simple addiction. My sympathies are more with Zelda and what she endured, but I will always love The Great Gatsby and even the Pat Hobby stories. I have been reading about Scott and Zelda for 50 years.
