Let's just say the film is truer to the book than some reviews give it credit for being.

While there are some small but significant liberties taken, IMHO, they actually serve to better relate the larger themes and emphasize the more obvious symbols and back story.

As mentioned above, the device of Carraway writing from an institution sounds very contrived in speaking or writing about it, yet on screen - it worked. Similarly, the flashbacks to Gatsby's childhood, Dan Cody and his days as a junior officer were brief but very effectively contributed to the overall telling of the story.
