House of Gucci
Stream
Rent & Buy
When Patrizia Reggiani, an outsider from humble beginnings, marries into the Gucci family, her unbridled ambition begins to unravel the family legacy and triggers a reckless spiral of betrayal, decadence, revenge, and ultimately… murder.
What critics thought
House of Gucci split critics almost evenly, with the central fault line being whether its wild tonal swings — lurching between sincere melodrama and outright camp — read as a feature or a bug. Lady Gaga's committed performance drew near-universal admiration, but Jared Leto's Paolo divided audiences sharply, inspiring both delight and eye-rolling in roughly equal measure. Audiences warmed to the film considerably more than critics did, a gap notable enough to draw comment from industry observers.
“Ridley Scott's film is a trashtacular watch that I wouldn't have missed for the world. But it fails to settle on a consistent tone — overlong and undisciplined as it careens between high drama and opera buffa.”
David Rooney·The Hollywood Reporter
“The movie the trailer is selling is actually a little more dishy and wild than the real House of Gucci, which would be a pointless and somewhat perfunctory dud if it weren't for the brilliance, or madness, of the performances.”
Alissa Wilkinson·Vox
“Adam Driver (who has now played a French squire and an Italian fashion heir in consecutive Ridley Scott movies) and Lady Gaga have legit chemistry together, and it's still a kick to see Al Pacino roaring like a lion in winter. But Hayek and Irons are playing cardboard-thin characters, Leto flounders about as if he's in a movie all his own, and House of Gucci feels coldly calculating when it should have been flush and warm with scandalous sensationalism.”
Richard Roeper·Chicago Sun-Times
“while others adopt faintly ridiculous Italian inflections, Leto delivers his lines in a string of high-pitched whoops that suggest he is attempting to communicate with whales”
