House Of Gucci Movie Review

A Good Drama

First off, I know I'm behind on some reviews, but I want to get a couple more out before the end of the year lists. A while ago, I saw House Of Gucci. I found it to be a solid drama.

House Of Gucci follows the Italian Fashion Family, Gucci and their downfall as a family all because of one person.

This film is based on a true story. I don't know how accurate it is to the true events, I'm judging this review only on the merits of the film itself. House of Gucci has a great cast of actors. The cinematography is sharp. And the pacing is solid. 

Adam Driver is my favorite performance in House Of Gucci. Lady Gaga also did a solid job, and I know there was a little more focus on her character, but I think Adam Driver gave a stronger performance. Jared Leto was good. He wasn't great, but he was good. Al Pacino wasn't as strong as he could have been. He felt half invested in the film except for perhaps one particular scene. The supporting cast did a fine job as well.

I thought the cinematography was well done. The shots in House Of Gucci are really crisp. Noting felt out of place. The color scheme was solid and fit the overall tone of the film. The music also fit well in each scene.

The pacing of the film was pretty solid. I know pacing is a concern going into the film, but I found myself never growing tired of watching House Of Gucci.

I don't think this film will win any awards. I think it'll get nominated, but it probably won't really win any. I do think House Of Gucci is worth seeing at least once. If you have an interest in biopics, fashion history, or are a fan of a particular cast member, then I would recommend giving House Of Gucci a watch.

final score: 4/5
