As fascinating as this true story is, the ending leaves you wanting to see more of the aftermath. If House of Gucci wasn’t based on actual events, you’d call the final act beyond ludicrous. A psychic named Giuseppina (Salma Hayek) nudges her down this road laced in blood, but Patrizia doesn’t need a devil on her shoulder to make bad decisions. When Patrizia loses a fraction of what she’s sunk her nails into, revenge becomes her new priority. Once she’s had a taste of all four, she won’t settle for anything less. Patrizia is a woman who wants it all: money, power, love, and a name that commands class. Gaga is given so many opportunities to chew the scenery, and while she might take a nibble here and there, she ultimately turns in a layered performance. However, Gaga deserves the most Oscar buzz. It may be over-the-top, but I won’t be complaining if Leto’s performance scores him another Oscar nomination. Then again, being the most tragic and comedic character, Leto’s go for broke approach feels appropriate. Listening to Leto’s accent, though, it’s admittedly hard not to think of Super Mario. At his best, Leto’s Paolo channels Fredo Corleone, a pathetic screw-up who comes to regret backstabbing a family member. Gaining almost 70 pounds and losing his signature hippie hair, Leto continues his string of unrecognizable performances. In a film bound to split critics and audiences down the middle, Leto’s performance might be the most divisive. Aldo treats Maurizio like the son he never had, even though he does have an “idiot” son named Paolo (Jared Leto). Although Maurizio defies his father, he wins the approval of his uncle, Aldo Gucci (Al Pacino). Rodolfo owes his fortune to the Gucci fashion brand, threatening to cut Maurizio out of his will if he marries a gold digger.
Driver gives an effectively retrained performance, keeping everything on the inside while everyone around Maurizio says precisely what’s on their minds. Patrizia catches the eye of Maurizio Gucci (Adam Driver), the son of retired actor Rodolfo Gucci (Jeremy Irons). Gaga plays the socialite with the conviction of Lady Macbeth and the style of an 80s soap opera villainess. Whether you think Lady Gaga’s accent sounds closer to Italian or Russian, she lights up every scene she’s in as Patrizia Reggiani. Even at its most uneven, though, House of Gucci always looks so good while doing it. The ending, in particular, hurries to the finish line, skipping over another chapter that could’ve filled an entire run time. If anything, it might’ve benefitted from being the length of a miniseries. Super-sized run time aside, Ridley Scott’s film doesn’t overstay its welcome. It’s undeniably entertaining as hell, however. Based on one viewing, it’s hard to say if this nearly three-hour epic is legitimately good or a guilty pleasure. And NASA needs to decide whether to tell the crew he’s still alive but they’re on their way back.Somewhere between the uproarious Wolf of Wall Street and a campy episode of Dynasty, you have House of Gucci.
