"House of Gucci" is inspired by the shocking true story of the family behind the Italian fashion empire. When Patrizia Reggiani, (Lady Gaga), an outsider from humble beginnings, marries into the Gucci family, her unbridled ambition begins to unravel the family legacy and triggers a reckless spiral of betrayal, decadence, revenge, and ultimately…murder...
A a tragicomic Shakespearean operetta and not so much a biopic as a family soap opera, an apple tree that tells its own story....
Critics say...
★★★★★ "Smart, funny and camp, it's not interested in keeping a straight face, strutting its way to glory. This is all fizz and no faff." - London Evening Standard
★★★★ "House of Gucci is titillating, ridiculous and utterly engrossing." - Independent (UK)
★★★★ "Every time Gaga comes on screen, you just can't help grinning at her sly elegance, mischief and performance-IQ, channelling Gina Lollobrigida or Claudia Cardinale in their early-50s gamine styles." - Guardian
★★★★ "Lady Gaga is brilliant as a fashion victim and shines as Patrizia... the creativity of this colourful and crazy film makes it designer chic." - The Sun
★★★★ "With this juicy, delicious drama, director Ridley Scott proves it's always in fashion to expose the ugliness in beautiful things." - Common Sense Media
★★★★ "Scott is not just at the height of his powers, he's breaking new ground." - San Francisco Chronicle
