With almost offensive accents and some terrible story boarding, House of Gucci is a cringe worthy 2.5 hours.

É quase inacreditável que um filme de 2h 38m de duração escolhe o pior de seu enredo para se aprofundar, enquanto deixa de escanteio uma das histórias mais chocantes do mundo da moda.

"House of Gucci" apenas desperdiça uma históriaÉ quase inacreditável que um filme de 2h 38m de duração escolhe o pior de seu enredo para se aprofundar, enquanto deixa de escanteio uma das histórias mais chocantes do mundo da moda.

"House of Gucci" apenas desperdiça uma história fascinante e o talento de Al Pacino e Jeremy Irons, que devem ter saído do set de filmagens traumatizados ao atuar ao lado de Jared Leto.

É difícil entender como Jodie Comer e sua atuação em "The Last Duel", também lançado no último ano com direção de Ridley Scott, está sendo esnobada nas premiações, enquanto vemos Lady Gaga na lista de todas elas.

Espero esquecer esse filme o quanto antes.… Expand

Fictional biography that barely scratches the surface of the history of the Gucci family.

A haphazard of a film. It's all over the place, and it seems the actors decided to go all ham.

What was supposed to be an entertaining film, turns into a film that doesn't quite know what story it is telling. The amount of eye rolls I made throughout cannot be overstated.

Good looking movie. Great cast. HORRIBLE PEOPLE. As much as I enjoyed watching House of Gucci, and that it's based on a true crime story---I think a lot of it was really amped up for the audience. I just wanted someone to cheer for.

The movie is long, gets kind of boring and repetitive. The actors' accents are poor sometimes. The movie confuses: is it a comedy or a serious telling of a dramatic story? It was alright I guess

The performances are impossible to look away from and the accents are impossible to unhear, but aside from a couple moments of corporate intrigue here and there, there's really not much to latch on to. The humor is almost always misplaced, leaving the audience in the dark with regards to how they're supposed to feel about what they're watching. I also have to say that this is yet another movie where Jared Leto appears to be acting into another dimension. Not sure if that's necessarily a good thing, but the wackiness of his presence was honestly the most engaging part of the film for me. Definitely not Ridley's finest work.… Expand

The over-the-top acting from some of these actors — Jared Leto and Lady Gaga's — we'll keep you hooked, but let's be honest, Ridley Scott was probably not the right guy for this. The screenplay also has a lot of issues, trying to say a lot about these characters and the industry without saying anything relevant at all. 'House of Gucci' is a wild ride, but it overstays its welcome for about one hour.… Expand

While many people often boast that the lives of people like the Gucci family, the rich, the elite, are of no importance to them, in reality it's always striking to learn the juicy, dark details of people who really are the same kind of scumWhile many people often boast that the lives of people like the Gucci family, the rich, the elite, are of no importance to them, in reality it's always striking to learn the juicy, dark details of people who really are the same kind of scum you might imagine, only their quarrels are over amounts of money, power and control that mere mortals can only imagine. Ridley Scott's House of Gucci is more or less such a story.

A morbid story because it involves a murder, but it fails to build an intrigue that lives up to what it sets out to do. This 157-minute tale is barely capable of creating conflict. Its first hour is more of a romantic story in which we see the idyll between Patrizia Reggiani and Maurizio Gucci, before moving on to the family struggle and conflict following the death of Maurizio's father.
Another passage that adds footage, but nothing relevant. Eventually we get to the divorce and then we get to the point where Patrizia orders the murder of her ex-husband. The problem here is that at that point we've already consumed two hours that said absolutely nothing.

Yes, the film has style, Ridley Scott is obviously a great director. But this is a film that makes him look bad. Why? Because just like you might say about a fashion house. There's a lot of style there, yet not a shred of substance.

The performances were also a sad disappointment. And that's pretty surprising considering the kind of cast it has.
From Adam Driver's restrained performance, to the buffoon that Jared Leto becomes.
Lady Gaga does absolutely nothing special. Her performance is cold and robotic.
Only Al Pacino and Jeremy Irons effortlessly deliver straightforward performances. Worst of all, are the accents. I'm not picky about this sort of thing, but it seems really stupid to me that, if you already have a cast of American and British actors playing Italian people who aren't speaking Italian, why the hell do you have them speaking in English with Italian accents that actually sound like Russian? That's a huge distraction. At some points it was heard that this film could be considered a strong contender in the upcoming awards season, but I don't think it will get any nominations other than just for the costumes.

House of Gucci is really a film that desperately tries to make you care about a story that doesn't really have much to stand on.
It's a romantic story that ended in tragedy, but it's not a great crime tale
It's simply the chronicle of a murder, and the only difference is that it was of a public famous and rich figure, but the undertone isn't even a little bit sordid.

It's a film that struggles to find better motivations and its length works against it for that very reason.
I wasn't expecting a masterpiece by any means, but I was expecting a more sober, darker and of course, more substantial film.
This was just a sour disappointment.… Expand

A better screenplay and writing of certain characters definitely needed to make this Gucci drama not feel like a boring bio-pic but as a good film.

Lady Gaga was good as was Adam Driver – actually there were no weak performances in the cast, although I was not particularly impressed with any of them. This film did not have the originality or energy of Scott’s Alien. Somehow the narrative seemed scattered here, and having so many glamorous locations actually hurt the film. Alien’s claustrophobia and original set design and story made for a much better movie. The Gucci film was not boring, although it lacked tension and seemed long. And frankly I didn’t believe a word of it even though it was seemingly a true story.… Expand

Ciao, Streamers! It's been a very busy time of the year with the holidays and a new cinema coming from all over the place. One of the most anticipated of the season is Ridley Scott's House of Gucci starring Lady Gaga, which opened on Thanksgiving. Let's get transported to Milan and see how this stylish true crime drama turned out.

Based on true events, House of Gucci tells the story of how the Gucci family lost its grip on its fashion empire by succumbing to greed, betrayal and infighting instigated by the introduction of Patrizia Reggiani (Lady Gaga) into the family. Patrizia meets Maurizio Gucci (Adam Driver), who is the son of and an heir to the Gucci business, and she falls in love with him after hearing the name "Gucci". Maurizio's father, Rodolfo Gucci (Jeremy Irons) does not trust Patrizia and has a falling out with Maurizio because he thinks that Patrizia essentially is a gold digger. Patrizia eventually ingratiates herself with the Gucci family by charming Maurizio's uncle, Aldo Gucci (Al Pacino) and cousin, Paolo Gucci (Jared Leto), but her ambition and entitlement leads to some epic downfalls and even criminal consequences to the family and herself. Melodrama ensues.

The promotion for House of Gucci sells a different movie than you get. It seemed like the movie was a true crime romp like something salacious and intriguing; but, although it has its moments of fun, it is too rote and boring to add up to the romp that it was promoted to be. There are a lot of business machinations that are the focus whereas the true crime aspect is the more interesting part of the story. While the betrayal in the business leads to the murder, the motivation to get to the murder is what seems to be where the drama and attention should be placed. Additionally, the movie is too long for the plot to be as imbalanced as it is.

Now, Lady Gaga does a great job and she dominates the movie, especially the first half. She has a decent Italian accent, and she gives her character a lot of flare. Although Patrizia is essentially the villain in the story, you have to root for her because Gaga makes her almost sympathetic. There are great costumes and nods to the 80's fashion era. House of Gucci is about Gucci, and so style should be front in center. The movie is pretty successful in that way. I have to mention Jared Leto's portrayal of Paolo Gucci. Paolo is a sympathetic character, too. Leto is under pounds of makeup that make him completely unrecognizable, and he has a ridiculous Italian accent that borders on caricature; but it works nonetheless. Leto is so fun in this role that you miss him when he's not on screen.

For me, the rest of the story is just blah and boring or over the top and ridiculous. Ridley Scott did not get a consistent tone, consistent accent or really find an interesting focus for this story. At 2 and a half hours long, it feels like the movie drags out what could have been both shorter and more impactful flick. Pretty disappointing.

Ultimately, House of Gucci fails to justify its long runtime. While Lady Gaga and Jared Leto have good performances and the costumes are eye-catching, the rest of the story is not told in an interesting way, is inconsistent and unfocused. Just get a handful of popcorn for this one.… Expand

First of all, the leading performances from Adam Driver and Lady Gaga were both spectacular. Gaga was extremely entertaining as she took on the persona of the merciless Patricia while Driver gave a much more subtle but equally terrific performance. Unfortunately, I felt that these two were really propping up the movie and preventing it from being a disaster. Jared Leto gave one of the worst performances of the year as an over-the-top man-baby, and this character destroyed what was an otherwise intriguing atmosphere. I also really disliked the third act. It felt like Gaga's character had suddenly disappeared, and the climax was extremely underwhelming. The movie ended almost immediately following this climactic event and the lack of a falling action made the ending feel extremely unsatisfactory. I think that House of Gucci is worth a viewing because of the star turns from its leads, but the rest of the film left me disappointed.… Expand

I loved Lady Gaga's performance in this film. Despite the flashy sets, iconic costumes, and the captivating Lady Gaga - I just could not get over the strange and over-the-top Italian accents. It was downright distracting, looking at you Leto.
