H δεύτερη, για φέτος, ταινία του Ρίντλεϊ Σκοτ «House of Gucci» έκανε την πρεμιέρα της στη Μεγάλη Βρετανία και όπως ήταν φυσικά άρχισαν να καταφτάνουν και οι πρώτες αντιδράσεις στα social media.
Η ταινία κατάφερε να διχάσει το κοινό που παραβρέθηκε στην πρεμιέρα με κάποιους να μιλάνε για μια ολική καταστροφή, ενώ κάποιοι την θεώρησαν πως είχε παραπάνω στιλ από ότι ουσία. Βέβαια δεν έλειψαν και οι θετικές κριτικές με κάποιους να την θεωρούν αρκετά διασκεδαστική και υπερβολικά καμπ ενώ δεν έλειψαν και οι αρκετά καλές κριτικές για τις ερμηνείες, κυρίως για την Lady Gaga και τον Τζάρεντ Λέτο.

Η ταινία βασίζεται στο βιβλίο της Σάρα Γκέι Φόρντεν, με τον... επεξηγηματικό τίτλο «The House of Gucci: A Sensational Story of Murder, Madness, Glamour, and Greed» και μιλάει για το πως η Ρετζιάνι ενορχήστρωσε την δολοφονία του Γκούτσι την οποία ανέθεσε σ' έναν πληρωμένο δολοφόνο, το οποίο και έγινε, καθώς εκείνος έβγαινε από το γραφείο του, στις 27 Μαρτίου 1995. Εννοείται πως η Ρετζιάνι επονομάστηκε αμέσως η «Μαύρη Χήρα» της μόδας και καταδικάστηκε σε 29 χρόνια φυλάκιση, η οποία στην πορεία μειώθηκε με την αιτιολογία ότι ο καρκίνος της είχε προκαλέσει προσωρινή παράνοια.
Στην ταινία πρωταγωνιστούν επίσης και οι Ρόμπερτ Ντε Νίρο, Αλ Πατσίνο, (ένας αγνώριστος) Τζάρεντ Λέτο, Τζακ Χιούστον, Τζέρεμι Αϊρονς και Ριβ Κάρνεϊ και αναμένεται να βγει στις αίθουσες στις 24 Νοεμβρίου. Για την ώρα διαβάστε μερικές αντιδράσεις παρακάτω.

And if Gaga is not strictly Best Actress material, she is still the soul and tiny-espresso-cup spirit of the film

House of Gucci is a bloated & uneven mess that feels like two different movies rolled in one. Every single cast member acts as though they are in a different movie except for Al Pacino, who seems to have understood the assignment and serves as the film’s MVP. #HouseofGucci pic.twitter.com/Y5NvVkNvqI

.@HouseOfGucciMov is unbelievably sexy. If the trailer left you excited, this will knock your socks off. It is absolutely explosive in every sense of the word. Everything from the costumes to cinematography to Arthur Max’s production design and the makeup. HoG is a spectacle. pic.twitter.com/2kSGWXQYry

Lady Gaga is GREAT in House of Gucci. The movie does not live up to her: https://t.co/5gLg2TvtpI

#HouseofGucci is a crowdpleaser that critics will not support. At the Academy Museum screening last week, SAG actors showed support for the film’s most egregious scene-chewers, Lady Gaga and Jared Leto, who may squeak into SAG or Oscar race, but could have used the Golden Globes.

.@HouseOfGucciMov is absolutely divine. It is murderously delicious. The cast delivers the best performances of the year. Luxuriate with Adam Driver and Lady Gaga whose chemistry and performances are phenomenal. The film is a masterclass in acting. pic.twitter.com/PGmiZ1q05J

Gaga checks so many of the boxes of previous Oscar winners for actress: She’s a beloved pop icon, taking a role that has her playing a sexy, batshit crazy fame and money-seeker. You can just imagine the old-timers saying to each other over cigars, “She’s just like my first wife.” https://t.co/MxSgZR4gKL

Lacking in energy, style & camp, HOUSE OF GUCCI plods through deadly serious drama for 2.5 hours with an uneven tone. Lady Gaga, Adam Driver & Al Pacino deliver but a cartoonish Jared Leto feels like he’s in a different film. A disappointingly mediocre effort from Ridley Scott. pic.twitter.com/UIQod5wbYm

#HouseofGucci is an overwrought slog without any discernible direction. Too many narrative focuses stacked on top of one another. Glitzy talented names hamming it up in wealth porn can be fun, but not enough to save the movie from its own messiness

I loved the mixture of tones in “House of Gucci.” It doesn’t descend into camp (with exception of Jared Leto's performance, which I enjoyed) but it’s having fun with itself, too. Gaga is wonderful. Screenwriter says he was thinking “Sunset Blvd.” from Norma Desmond’s perspective.

I saw #HouseofGucci last week and I really enjoyed it! It was super uneven in tone with weird editing/pace throughout the movie (and it's super long). But the outstanding (and outlandish) acting is what really sold it and I was truly hooked. Def not as camp as advertised though.

Lady Gaga plays the best Lady Macbeth I’ve ever seen in a movie in #HouseOfGucci. pic.twitter.com/amx2egQCBK

Gaga's Patrizia is unapologetic in her ambition and drive while Driver has the biggest arc, with Maurizio going from quiet and not wanting to be like his family to unable to fight his destiny.

Early scenes of their courtship are some of the best, sweet and sexy and funny...
Sad to report House of Gucci is not good. At times you wonder if it's Ridley's first pass at an edit. More disappointing? Lady Gaga is bad. Not even CAMP good. There are moments when she's simply dead behind the eyes. Reminded of Madonna in Body of Evidence. (1) pic.twitter.com/7Qz9dMPvsO

FATHER, SON & THE @HouseOfGucciMov is FANTASTICO! @ladygaga gives more than a performance- she opens a portal..it's mesmerizing! Talk about a 'marriage story' LG & #AdamDriver r an EPIC duo! @JaredLeto will & should win the Oscar. Will see it 100X. Juicy GOOCHINESS! #HouseOfGucci pic.twitter.com/v9B1KIbfdh

GUCCI! #HouseOfGucci has a definite GODFATHER vibe, rich w/ family betrayal, transformative performances, lots of backstabbing & it's definitely more serious than it is campy. Lady Gaga is incredible, as is Jared Leto, and the story is WILD! The attention to detail is impeccable pic.twitter.com/BphR07VLP5

Thrilled to tell you Lady Gaga is SO GOOD in House of Gucci & the parts with just these two are so fun. I hope they are in, like, a Golden Age-esque movie musical together someday. pic.twitter.com/clKJhSm4BF

Lady Gaga's performance in HOUSE OF GUCCI is this alchemy of sheer charisma and presence, power of personality, and commitment to the bit. The way she stares daggers at everyone on screen is terrifying. The more I think about it, the more Patrizia is a true horror villain🖤

House of Gucci is very good, Jared Leto was born to play iconic fashion designer Fredo Waluigi Gucci, and — sorry if this is a spoiler — but at one point Lady Gaga says "it's time to take out the trash." pic.twitter.com/jvClvMZibN

#HouseOfGucci is Shakespearean in its execution. A solid story of greed and a hunger for success at any cost is dotted with tragi-comedic interludes - both entertaining in different ways. With solid performances, if campy and overegged at times, it works but could do with a trim. pic.twitter.com/q7EAfqQpm0

It is absolutely criminal how good an actress Lady Gaga is, and how good she is HOUSE OF GUCCI.
