I'm busy or I would've watched it D:


It could be available on iPlayer for something to watch over the festive period!

I have it on DVD but I might give it another watch. Unrelated but I’ve always found with House of Gucci her acting is faultless but I think it would’ve worked so much better as a TV series rather than a movie.

People named her role as one of the most memorable movie performance that wasn't nominated for Oscar. She is in a good company!

Lady Gaga, House of Gucci (2021)

Director Ridley Scott’s film about how the Gucci family lost control of their fashion empire is a dismal affair, inert to the point of supinity and poorly acted by the likes of Al Pacino and Jared Leto. It wouldn’t even be worth thinking about if it weren’t for the unforgettable, marvelous fun of Lady Gaga’s performance as the infamous Patrizia Reggiani, who was convicted of murdering her ex-husband, Maurizio Gucci (Adam Driver). In retrospect, Gaga may not have done her Oscar campaign any favors by going on and on about how hard she worked on the role, how she pushed herself to such a dark place that eventually she hired a psychiatric nurse to be on set. What you see on screen doesn’t suggest anything of the sort: The performance, which comes garnished with a heavy Italian accent and a big, dark wig, is alive with what feels like impulsive, unrehearsed theatrical verve. Like a hot sauna stone splashed with water, Patricia sizzles with rage. Gaga isn’t subtle, but she isn’t over the top, either — it may not be possible for her to go over the top. Not when she’s the one who defines the height.
