Summary & Info
Inspired by the true story of the Gucci fashion dynasty: When an outsider (Lady Gaga) from a humble background marries a prominent Gucci (Adam Driver), her uninhibited ambition and distinctive vision for the notorious brand initiates a spiral of betrayal, fraud and murder. Cast: Al Pacino, Jeremy Irons, Jared Leto, Jack Huston and Salma Hayek. Director: Ridley Scott. [2:37 – R]
Dueling Critics
“[W]hat do we say about a movie like ‘House of Gucci,’ which is made up entirely of good scenes, with nothing that’s merely functional?…[E]verything is grand, and yet everything is slightly funny, and some things are hilarious. Yet nothing is so funny that we stop feeling for the characters.”
“[A] puffed-up, ponderous drama, whose quest for Oscar glory officially ends today…’Gucci’ is a pale, ugly film whose underwhelming glamour doesn’t match the grandeur of a European fashion house. It looks as pricey as a knock-off Gucci bag on Canal Street.”
