| The cast of House of Gucci |
Maurizio Gucci (Adam Driver) is smitten with the outgoing and ambitious Patrizia (Lady Gaga), and soon afterward they are married. Maurizio's father, Rodolfo (Jeremy Irons) isn't entirely taken with the union, but his brother, Aldo (Al Pacino) welcomes Patrizia and his nephew to New York. Then there's Aldo's son, Paolo (Jared Leto of Urban Legend), who is treated like a moron by his father, and who wants to design his own line. There are behind-the-scenes battles for control of the Gucci company, and then Maurizio has the temerity to have an affair and ask for a divorce. Patrizia is not going to take this lying down ...

Verdict: Well, you may not rush out to buy a Gucci bag, but all the skullduggery in this is fascinating. ***1/4.

Interesting, Bill, yours is the first good review of this I have read or heard. I was interested initially then heard it wasn’t good. Now I will go with my instincts and see it, thanks to you. I love all the actors in it.

I think you'll find that it has enough good acting and moves fast enough that it's entertaining, even if not a masterpiece. See it for Irons and Pacino, if nothing else.
