‘House of Gucci’ Screens …

October 31, 2021 Jordan Ruimy

Ridley Scott’s “House of Gucci,” clocking in at a massive 157 minutes, isn’t cutting it with the critics/pundits who have seen it thus far (and there aren’t many). Albeit, I’m only basing this on two reactions I’ve gathered, so there could be a turnaround in sentiment come this week when it’s screened for more people.

From what I’ve gathered, based on the two people I’ve spoken to, ‘Gucci’ very much aims for a serious tone, there is no fun in the film, it doesn’t go for campiness whatsoever, the camp we see in the trailer is purely unintentional. Figures, since this is a fairly serious true story about greed, vengeance and murder.

A critic told me Jared Leto stole the show from the rest of the cast (“he seems to be the only actor who is self-aware of the camp”) and that Gaga is quite good, but the film is a mess filled with EXCESS. Call it Wolf of Wall Street-lite.

“House of Gucci” has a press junket coming up in the coming week. More reactions will surely leak. I am not scheduled to see it for now. The film is being released on November 24th.

UPDATE: a third person who’s seen it emailed me saying “Wrong! The people you’ve spoken to are dead wrong. I had a blast watching “House of Gucci,” Scott aims for a home run but gets a triple. Gaga is so invested in the thing and Leto had me cackling non-stop.”
