Editorial Reviews

In House of Gucci, director Ridley Scott (Alien) leaves us wishing for a better film by telling the overly dramatic, Italian-dripped tale of the Gucci family in a most Lifetime movie-style way. Using Sara Gay Forden's book, The House of Gucci: A Sensational Story of Murder, Madness, Glamour, and Greed screenwriters Becky Johnston and Roberto Bentivegna create the backbone tale of the murder of the former head of the Gucci fashion house, Maurizio Gucci (Adam Driver, The Last Duel) by his ex-wife, Patrizia Reggiani (Lady Gaga, A Star is Born). The movie picks up the story around 1978 and by the end, it's 1998, but divine Gaga and Driver never age or perceptibly change over the two decades. Driver offers the audience a socially awkward yet delightful Maurizio; he makes for an ideal complement to Gaga's modestly confident portrayal of Patrizia. After marrying a girl from a lower economic class, the heir, Maurizio, is initially disowned by his father (Jeremy Irons, Night Train to Lisbon). However, his uncle Aldo (Al Pacino, The Godfather) brings him back into the family, since he has more potential to lead the business than Aldo's image-obsessed son, Paolo (Jared Leto, Suicide Squad). The story begins with Patrizia seemingly making a play for Maurizio, whose father initially was suspicious that she is primarily after his wealth. Once together, he is content to remain as the family outcast, but she wants more and tries to convince him to get back into the family's good graces and i so doing, obtain more control of the Gucci name and its financial benefits. House of Gucci starts with much promise as Driver, Lady Gaga, and Pacino give performances that bring out the emotional complexity of the historically dysfunctional Gucci family. But Ridley Scott goes overboard with the fall of the corporation instead of focusing on the tumultuous personaitiesl of Patrizia and Maurizio. Patrizia is reduced to small appearances, which means her escalating to a murderous character is never explicitly examined. And when the movie ends abruptly, the audience realizes there was an obvious lack of storytelling and lackluster drama. Everything in House of Gucci is over the top, from the accents to the desctructive greed. However, in spite of the absurdity and an insane story that just keeps getting more unbelievable, it is still watchable. But viewers shouldn't feel guilty for throwing on their knock-off Gucci belts while attending the show, as their faux fashion will fit right into this bogus film.
