    It's hard not to wish for more awesome gold-lamé bitchery than House's by-the-numbers biopic supplies. If you're looking for a sincere tale of family strife and substance abuse, you could do way worse.

    Director Sara Sugarman presents less a tale of love and redemption than a colorful how- to on losing $97 million in a few short years. Donatella skates through rehab as an afterthought, resulting in a comeback story lacking any emotional investment.

Focused on her story rather than the wholeThe production is not bad, but not House of Versace as much as House of Donatella herself..... Focused on her story rather than the whole family and beginning of the tale...... Versace before it's prime.... The leading actress did a good job portraying Donatella but again this is more her Biography and her battles in life than the Brand Versace.… Full Review »
