    Horrible everyone
    I guess, like most people I never gave the Gucci brand and its' origins much thought, so a movie about their family is something I never really asked for. As such, I found the movie to be an entertaining experience, though nothing I feel compelled to recommend as something that needs be seen. The movie is well acted, well directed but slowly paced. It takes its time building up the characters, though the more I got to know them, the less I sympathized with anyone. That lead to a sort of indifference by the closing titles and I was pretty much glad that it ended already.

    I won't go much into the plot because the interesting parts would be major spoiler, just rest assured that there is plenty of meddling and backstabbing.

    I can't help but feel like the movie is aimed at people who'd already knew the major events and just want to see them unfold. The opening of the movie would have held much more weight if I knew how it would end, so either I wasn't the target audience, or that is a major misstep. If I wanted to discuss it further, my review couldn't bear the spoiler free tag.

    Anyway, the movie felt way too long for what it was trying to tell us. If you ever need to kill 3 times, it is worth watching it at least once for the performances and direction but when it comes to Ridley Scott, this wouldn't probably qualify in the top 5, maybe even 10...

    P. S. Jared Leto seems to be really enjoying himself in his role and watching him go with it is one of the highlights of the movie.

    A one dimensional affair
    House of Gucci is lovely to look at, the cars, the scenery and of course the clothes are opulent and fitting.

    The film is a very strange affair. It is a film with very little depth and indeed the whole thing is like watching a recap of a story.

    The family is pretty much unlikeable and appear quite mad. Al Pacino and Jeremy Irons are two Gucci brothers and we don't really know much about them. It seems that the brother Irons plays left the business to follow a film career and Pacino stayed to run the Gucci business.

    I am reminded of "All About Eve", this film is similar in a way but far inferior. Lady Gaga is portrayed as a manipulator and perhaps gold digger. I found her to be those maybe but also a headstrong woman who had a plan. Nothing really wrong with that.

    It's all very weak, limp even No highlights at all , unfortunately.
