La casa Gucci

Para mí, esta película se encuentra justo en la línea entre 3 y 4 estrellas. Disfruté de los 164 minutos de ajedrez millonario y puñaladas por la espalda, además de introducir una historia de la que no tenía ni idea antes, y el reparto es absolutamente increíble, sin duda. Las escenas con Irons, Leto y Pacino fueron las que más disfruté (sobre todo el último roba muchas escenas para sí mismo y me alegro de que tenga tanto espacio). Me molestó un poco la variación de acentos italianos en los actores (Driver, Irons, Pacino comedido y apenas perceptible X Gaga, Leto totalmente extravagante). Sin embargo, lo que me parece un poco decepcionante de la película es la estructura de la trama. En el espacio de 2,5 horas, Ridley Scott tenía mucho espacio para contar la historia general de manera uniforme, sin embargo, se toma su tiempo con algunas de las partes menos cruciales, y el final se siente apresurado y la conexión de la escena final carece de cualquier explicación de cómo sucedió y dónde se equivocaron los actores. Lástima, todo eso me interesaba. (26.11.2021)

Una película mediocremente entretenida, y eso solo gracias a la sobreactuación, que difícilmente puede considerarse una ventaja. Es como si Scott no los mantuviera a raya a propósito, para agitar la superficie estancada de una sustancia dramáticamente débil. Solo por el tema más dramático (también basado en hechos reales), la narración más llena de suspense, y un «malo» mejor, me gustó más que su Todo el dinero del mundo. Jeremy Irons y Al Pacino son los únicos que me hacen feliz aquí. Y hacia el final Camille Cottin, por supuesto. (10.12.2021)

Ridley Scott has a weaker moment and although this film is not completely bad, in my eyes it's his weakest work in the last five years. The story is quite interesting, but the execution is a bit bland and uninteresting. We follow the Gucci family and I was kind of hoping it would be a gangster movie, but it's more of a drama. The acting is solid. Adam Driver as Scott's new tagalong is decent, Lady Gaga is solid, Jared Leto was bit too theatrical for my taste, but the make-up was unreal, and Al Pacino was okay, except for the Italian accent, that bothered me a bit. I found the direction a bit cold and for the exorbitant 150 minute running time, the film offered very few interesting or attractive scenes. I didn't even care much about the fashion. Considering the subject matter, the actors and the director, I was expecting a film at least a level higher in all respects, but I got through it without too much trouble and I think three stars is adequate.Story 3/5, Action 0/5, Humour 0/5, Violence 1/5, Fun 3/5 Music 3/5, Visuals 4/5, Atmosphere 3/5, Suspense 2/5, Emotion 2/5, Actors 4/5. 6/10.

The storytelling is mostly mediocre, House of Gucci is mainly driven by the actors. It looks to me as if Ridley Scott came on the set and said "well, now you all play what you want, improvise as much as you can, but don't forget to pull the strongest Italian accent you can". And strangely enough, it usually works. Also, the make-up artists do a great job as always in Ridley's ensemble, because, for example, I recognized Jared Leto through his make-up after about an hour. If I had to choose between The Last Duel and House of Gucci, I would choose the historical drama, which is more focused, with a more honest, sensitively and carefully crafted story that leaves a stronger emotional impact. In the case of House of Gucci, what warms the viewer's heart the most, apart from the aforementioned actors, is perhaps only the great cinematography and the brilliant design of the costumes and interiors, which, of course, the filmmakers polished to the smallest detail as befits and belongs to an icon of luxury and glamour.

A superficial ride on the cheap tinsel of fashion mafiosi, which wallows in its own pompous chauvinism, but never once gets under your skin. Scott is a great man. For one hundred and fifty minutes he blows out the candles on a birthday cake sovereignly like Aldo, and you'll even forgive the shortness of breath. But when it's all over, you'll feel a little disappointed that a showrunner who wasn't afraid to push the characters through something deeper for eight up to ten hours didn’t take up the mantle.
