House of Gucci

Writen by r96sk on February 23, 2023

'House of Gucci' makes for good viewing. I enjoyed the performances of Lady Gaga and Adam Driver, with the former being the film's best in my opinion - she is two for two now after 'A Star Is Born', so I'm keen to see what she produces for 'Joker: Folie à Deux'. The rest of the cast are also very good, whether it be Al Pacino or Jeremy Irons... Jack Huston and even Jared Leto are solid as well. Well done casting. I found this 158 minute flick to have positive pacing, the film doesn't necessarily fly by but it does keep flowing along nicely. I, however, didn't like the music, there are some strange choices in there which I don't think quite fit the vibe of the film. It also felt odd a few times to have everyone speaking English with accents, especially when in Italy. I also would've liked more regular notices of location/year of certain scenes, not that it was hard to figure out but a few scenes, despite being set elsewhere/at another time, felt mashed into one sometimes. Those negatives aren't major ones, though, as I did get the required entertainment from this Ridley Scott film.
