“u0026quot;House of Gucciu0026quot; is a beautifully shot picture with great people involved. It is somewhat underwhelming and a tad too long, but there are great moments sprinkled throughout the movie.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe film is based on the real murder of Maurizio Gucci and the downfall of the Gucci family. It all begins when Patrizia Reggiani marries into the Gucci family and the rest is history.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eLady Gaga is great as the ambitious Patrizia Reggiani but she is also inconsistent with her performance. Pacino, Driver and Leto are good per usual. It is however a daring choice by the filmmakers to have the actors speak in English with an Italian accent. It is not a huge problem, but it does occasionally take the viewer out of the experience.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe first forty minutes of the movie are great. The characters are well introduced, and the plot is intriguing. The rest of the movie does not maintain this standard. The last 30 minutes are beyond underwhelming and the climax is cold and emotionless.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThere are issues with u0026quot;House of Gucciu0026quot; but the production design is not one of them. The film is beautifully shot and the locations look great. u0026quot;House of Gucciu0026quot; is very stylish and the costume department really outdid themselves.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eWith everything said, u0026quot;House of Gucciu0026quot; is a decent film with outstanding visuals and great acting. If you like fashion, then you should give this movie a watch. It is beautiful and quite enjoyable despite its excessive runtime.”
