[Ridley] Scott resorts to a format closer to a soap opera by using and abusing a series of gimmicks... [Full review in Spanish]

Full Review | Original Score: 2/10 | Dec 19, 2022

Much like Leto’s performance, House of Gucci is likely to polarise audiences. It is glamourous and gaudy but also tedious and tiresome and, for what is supposed to be a compelling crime story, the result is a confusing mess.

Full Review | Original Score: 3/5 | Nov 12, 2022

With any other cast, House of Gucci would have been a subpar movie, floundering through the ripped-from-the-headlines intrigue of a murder-for-hire, but with this cast, Ridley Scott has created a wickedly fun romp.

This is more than a film about fashion; this film is an Italian family epic in much the same style as THE GODFATHER, but based on a true story.

House of Gucci shifts through several tones as it spotlights the dark side of power, pleasure, and privilege, but it’s anchored by an endlessly entertaining ensemble - and specifically, the supernova star that is Lady Gaga.

For about two-thirds of “House of Gucci” I was onboard....But everything comes to a screeching halt in that third act and the movie suffers for it.

This film could have been all that, could have been an Oscar contender. It has so much going for it. Big fashion, true crime, and so much name-dropping. But it goes right off the rails in its second half...

No plans to re-watch, did not enjoy, way too long, convoluted…laughed, was camp!

They let this go to print? Surely not...

A ruthless portrait of Patrizia Reggiani's ambitions... the real center of this story that is cruel towards her at the end, but also towards us. [Full review in Spanish]

While these performances will probably doom the film come awards season, they are the movie’s saving grace. The sheer silliness of the proceedings neutralize the film’s attempts at plumbing the dark side of wealth and the corruption...

The campy scenes make the straight drama scenes feel under-energized and dull, while the straight drama scenes make the campy scenes feel over the top and unintentionally hilarious.

Textually it is like a tabloid newspaper. Visually its fine art. More often than not the two do not blend together well.

Scott's proposal seems entertaining to me when he brings together a handful of luxury actors to narrate, with a fine and glamorous tone, the melodrama of that fashion dynasty fragmented by greed, betrayal and family grudges. Full review in Spanish

This saga, which leaves no-one untarnished, may be viewed as an old-fashoned morality tale.

...yet another unfocused misfire from an increasingly lackluster director.

Lady Gaga fans should swoonthe actress gives a splendid performance here, proving that her turn in A Star is Born was no fluke.

Incredible, almost hard to reconcile seeing Leto on screen...

It could have been cut down by 25 minutes somewhere, but the performances are great and I absolutely loved Driver and Gaga together.

It's fun watching all the indulgence and corruption...but the underlying assumption is banal and predictable. Elegant if imperfect.
