171711 David Griffiths Subculture Entertainment Fresh 4/5 2026-06-07T00:07:54Z 2026-06-07 00:07:54 A sensational drama. Scott highlights the Shakesperian nature of the story and delivers some powerful scenes that are further enhanced by a cast that are on the top of their game.
171712 Gary Wolcott Tri-City Herald Fresh 5/5 2026-05-12T18:57:18Z 2026-05-12 18:57:18 House of Gucci is a fascinating glimpse into how addicting money and power can become, and how some people will do just about anything to get, and keep both.
171713 Jas Keimig The Stranger (Seattle, WA) Fresh 2026-05-11T16:13:00Z 2026-05-11 16:13:00 It’s an earnest exploration into the corruption of wealth, the rotting of familial bonds, and passion.
171714 Matt Ward Cinematic Considerations Fresh 2026-05-04T21:05:01Z 2026-05-04 21:05:01 While not the best film from Scott this season – The Last Duel being a must-see drama – House of Gucci has the widespread appeal, beauty and drama worthy of checking out at a local cinema.
171715 Stephen Garrett Book & Film Globe Rotten 2/5 2025-08-20T20:25:05Z 2025-08-20 20:25:05 What the movie lacks is a real sense of vision, a driving force that makes the movie pop and sizzle.
171716 Denise Pieniazek Puesta en Escena (AR) Fresh 8/10 2024-08-16T22:12:41Z 2024-08-16 22:12:41 The Gucci house then narrates the fall of a dynasty, of an empire that no one wants to part with, because Gucci is “synonymous with seduction, wealth, style and power… but that name was also a curse.”
171717 Paul Klein FILMHOUNDS Magazine Fresh 3/5 2024-07-04T20:45:09Z 2024-07-04 20:45:09 While the performances war for dominance and the tone goes from Dallas to drama, Scott throws everything at the screen
171718 Sarah Vincent Sarah G Vincent Views Fresh 2024-06-10T03:20:21Z 2024-06-10 03:20:21 pure tabloid, guilty pleasure goodness. If you are a faithful devotee of Scott’s work, then you will be happy to see him emerge from the existential crisis of dread in the face of death to enthusiastic diving into the shallow end of the pool.

171721 Jillian Chilingerian Offscreen With Jillian Rotten 2023-07-26T17:24:50Z 2023-07-26 17:24:50 Are you supposed to laugh during a true-crime film about the Gucci family losing their fashion empire?
171722 Tina Kakadelis Beyond the Cinerama Dome Rotten 2023-07-25T02:35:26Z 2023-07-25 02:35:26 House of Gucci fails to work on two levels. First, as a historical family drama, and second, as a campy, good time. What’s left is a lumbering movie that’s unable to offer an interesting look into the Gucci dynasty.
171723 Peter Bell Vague Visages Rotten 2023-06-05T18:01:40Z 2023-06-05 18:01:40 House of Gucci attempts to be a board room thriller and TV show dynasty production; in theory, this sounds acceptable, but neither writer crafts a captivating scenario.
171724 Dallas King Outtake Mag Rotten 3/5 2022-11-12T23:11:03Z 2022-11-12 23:11:03 Much like Leto’s performance, House of Gucci is likely to polarise audiences. It is glamourous and gaudy but also tedious and tiresome and, for what is supposed to be a compelling crime story, the result is a confusing mess.
171725 Maggie Lovitt Millennial Falcon Reviews Fresh B+ 2022-09-24T01:35:29Z 2022-09-24 01:35:29 With any other cast, House of Gucci would have been a subpar movie, floundering through the ripped-from-the-headlines intrigue of a murder-for-hire, but with this cast, Ridley Scott has created a wickedly fun romp.
171726 Mark R. Leeper Mark Leeper's Reviews Fresh 9/10 2022-09-18T16:02:58Z 2022-09-18 16:02:58 This is more than a film about fashion; this film is an Italian family epic in much the same style as THE GODFATHER, but based on a true story.
171727 Zoë Rose Bryant Loud and Clear Reviews Fresh 3.5/5 2022-09-01T07:46:45Z 2022-09-01 07:46:45 House of Gucci shifts through several tones as it spotlights the dark side of power, pleasure, and privilege, but it’s anchored by an endlessly entertaining ensemble - and specifically, the supernova star that is Lady Gaga.
171728 Keith Garlington Keith & the Movies Rotten 2.5/5 2022-08-16T22:38:18Z 2022-08-16 22:38:18 For about two-thirds of “House of Gucci” I was onboard....But everything comes to a screeching halt in that third act and the movie suffers for it.
171729 Cris Kennedy The Canberra Times (Australia) Fresh 3/5 2022-08-15T18:21:37Z 2022-08-15 18:21:37 This film could have been all that, could have been an Oscar contender. It has so much going for it. Big fashion, true crime, and so much name-dropping. But it goes right off the rails in its second half...
171730 Andrew Galdi Movie Bitches Rotten 2022-08-04T18:42:50Z 2022-08-04 18:42:50 No plans to re-watch, did not enjoy, way too long, convoluted…laughed, was camp!

171732 Erick Estrada Cinegarage Fresh 2022-06-21T20:26:46Z 2022-06-21 20:26:46 A ruthless portrait of Patrizia Reggiani's ambitions... the real center of this story that is cruel towards her at the end, but also towards us. [Full review in Spanish]
171733 Ani Bundel NBC News THINK Fresh 2022-05-10T22:20:46Z 2022-05-10 22:20:46 While these performances will probably doom the film come awards season, they are the movie’s saving grace. The sheer silliness of the proceedings neutralize the film’s attempts at plumbing the dark side of wealth and the corruption...
171734 Dan Bayer Next Best Picture Rotten 5/10 2022-05-10T04:50:54Z 2022-05-10 04:50:54 The campy scenes make the straight drama scenes feel under-energized and dull, while the straight drama scenes make the campy scenes feel over the top and unintentionally hilarious.
171735 Grant Watson Fiction Machine Rotten 5/10 2022-04-01T12:14:43Z 2022-04-01 12:14:43 Textually it is like a tabloid newspaper. Visually its fine art. More often than not the two do not blend together well.
171736 Yasser Medina Cinefilia Fresh 7/10 2022-04-01T07:09:18Z 2022-04-01 07:09:18 Scott's proposal seems entertaining to me when he brings together a handful of luxury actors to narrate, with a fine and glamorous tone, the melodrama of that fashion dynasty fragmented by greed, betrayal and family grudges. Full review in Spanish
171737 John McDonald Australian Financial Review Fresh 2022-03-29T22:09:48Z 2022-03-29 22:09:48 This saga, which leaves no-one untarnished, may be viewed as an old-fashoned morality tale.
171738 David Nusair Reel Film Reviews Rotten 2/4 2022-03-22T11:15:08Z 2022-03-22 11:15:08 ...yet another unfocused misfire from an increasingly lackluster director.
171739 David Reddish Queerty Fresh 3.5/4 2022-03-13T20:44:44Z 2022-03-13 20:44:44 Lady Gaga fans should swoonthe actress gives a splendid performance here, proving that her turn in A Star is Born was no fluke.
171740 John Campea The John Campea Show Fresh 2022-03-10T21:29:43Z 2022-03-10 21:29:43 Incredible, almost hard to reconcile seeing Leto on screen...
171741 Lauren Veneziani DC Film Girl Fresh 4/5 2022-03-10T21:28:42Z 2022-03-10 21:28:42 It could have been cut down by 25 minutes somewhere, but the performances are great and I absolutely loved Driver and Gaga together.
171742 Michael Medved The Michael Medved Show Fresh 2.5/4 2022-03-10T21:26:23Z 2022-03-10 21:26:23 It's fun watching all the indulgence and corruption...but the underlying assumption is banal and predictable. Elegant if imperfect.
171743 Victoria Luxford City AM Fresh 3/5 2022-03-03T16:59:05Z 2022-03-03 16:59:05 Gaga understands the assignment, making Patrizia a stylish, outrageous anti-hero who you want to see succeed as she seethes in her blood red ski suit. The film takes advantage of the innate campness of its star, and becomes trashily enjoyable.
171744 Jennifer Heaton Alternative Lens Rotten 5/10 2022-02-28T15:23:57Z 2022-02-28 15:23:57 Swinging between camp melodrama and sophisticated family politics, it cant decide if it wants to be The Godfather or The Wolf of Wall Street, and its hodgepodge middle-ground approach makes it a disappointment on both fronts.
171745 Matt Brunson Film Frenzy Rotten 2/4 2022-02-19T02:03:05Z 2022-02-19 02:03:05 A film that wildly careens between a dour biopic and a rowdy camp fest without slowing down to take the curves.
171746 Rene Sanchez Cine Sin Fronteras Rotten 2/4 2022-02-12T18:51:11Z 2022-02-12 18:51:11 Beneath its lavish surface, House of Gucci hides an unemotional and irregular story of power and greed. Full Review in Spanish
171747 David Gonzalez The Cinematic Reel Fresh 3/4 2022-02-12T18:15:56Z 2022-02-12 18:15:56 House of Gucci is quite the cinematic animal. Its not the Oscar bait-y drama I anticipated, but its certainly a film I immensely enjoyed. From its initial viewing, it enters the pantheon of a cult classic.
171748 Brian Eggert Deep Focus Review Fresh 3/4 2022-02-12T05:18:35Z 2022-02-12 05:18:35 House of Gucci qualifies as a work of instant camp; it might also be a tragedy on an operatic scale.
171749 Jeff Nelson Showbiz Cheat Sheet Rotten 2022-02-12T03:29:07Z 2022-02-12 03:29:07 House of Gucci is pure excess at the expense of its own storytelling. Scott's direction fully owns the overindulgence, but these characters are caricatures more than they feel like real people.
171750 Wesley Lovell Cinema Sight Rotten 2.5/4 2022-02-12T03:20:29Z 2022-02-12 03:20:29 Real life with a soap opera flavor makes up Ridley Scotts look into the collapse of the Gucci dynasty as the family who gave its name to the luxury clothing brand succumbs...
171751 Christopher Cross Tilt Magazine Fresh 3.5/5 2022-02-12T02:00:47Z 2022-02-12 02:00:47 Led by a truly remarkable performance from Lady Gaga, House of Gucci is an admirable effort to convey the lengths someone will go to for fame and fortune.
171752 Carson Timar Clapper Fresh 2022-02-12T00:45:09Z 2022-02-12 00:45:09 While many might struggle with House of Gucci for its size and messy nature, the project still ultimately feels like a major success for Ridley Scott, who continues to prove that he is at the top of his game.
171753 Marriska Fernandes Exclaim! Rotten 2022-02-11T03:22:27Z 2022-02-11 03:22:27 For all the camp and hype this promises, even Lady Gaga's powerhouse performance can't save this film. There's a lot to unpack, but despite the glitz and glamour, the only highlight is Jared Leto in his disguise as the supremely silly Paulo Gucci.
171754 Mark Johnson Awards Daily Fresh 2.5/5 2022-02-10T22:19:32Z 2022-02-10 22:19:32 Italian fashion designer Elsa Schiaparelli once said, fashion is always outrageous. If thats the case, House of Gucci is categorically and undeniably chic.
171755 John Serba Decider Rotten 2022-02-04T02:11:28Z 2022-02-04 02:11:28 ... Weirdly dull, with a meandering narrative that never revs up dramatically, characters with frustratingly opaque motives and a tonal identity crisis.
171756 Zosha Millman Thirty, Flirty + Film Rotten 2022-02-03T23:44:25Z 2022-02-03 23:44:25 Ultimately, the film is just on the worse side of fine. Most tragic of all, its just boring. And it just seems like theres something terribly wrong with that.
171757 Cole Smithey ColeSmithey.com Fresh A+ 2022-01-13T18:50:14Z 2022-01-13 18:50:14 Wow! Here is the Hollywood knock out movie we've been waiting for.
171758 David Stratton The Australian Fresh 3.5/5 2022-01-08T01:40:17Z 2022-01-08 01:40:17 A very fine cast of American actors speaking with Italian accents ensures that, despite its length, there's always something interesting happening on screen.
171759 Graeme Tuckett The Post NZ Rotten 2.5/5 2022-01-07T23:20:19Z 2022-01-07 23:20:19 As it is, House of Gucci is an overlong, unfocused mess that also happened to make me laugh louder than any film I've seen this year. It's just a shame it's not being marketed as a comedy.
171760 Jared Mobarak Jaredmobarak.com Fresh 6/10 2022-01-07T15:20:12Z 2022-01-07 15:20:12 Its sum is sadly not equal to its parts. The good sequences thankfully outweigh the bad to make the trip enjoyable, but that's about it.
171761 Harris Dang The AU Review Fresh 4/5 2022-01-07T04:50:06Z 2022-01-07 04:50:06 House of Gucci will no doubt disappoint history purists and those who are expecting an accurate portrayal of said true events. But Scott's disdain for the people in the story he is portraying has provided some of his most purely enjoyable work.
171762 Scaachi Koul BuzzFeed News Fresh 2022-01-06T23:30:18Z 2022-01-06 23:30:18 Isn't that all we really want from the movies? Brain soft, Gucci soothing, and that's all she wrote.

171764 Casey Chong Casey's Movie Mania Rotten 2.5/5 2022-01-06T13:40:09Z 2022-01-06 13:40:09 House of Gucci is far from Ridley Scott's worst film. I do like the technical aspects of this film as well as some of the acting performances but given the high expectation for such a prestige project, it feels like a missed opportunity.

171768 Vinnie Mancuso Collider Fresh 2022-01-05T23:30:16Z 2022-01-05 23:30:16 I love mess. House of Gucci is a five-course meal of controlled mess orchestrated by the legend Ridley Scott...
171769 Rich Cline Shadows on the Wall Fresh 4/5 2022-01-04T21:00:13Z 2022-01-04 21:00:13 A true story packed with family drama, conspiracies and ultimately murder, this unsurprisingly stylish film features sharp characters who are brought to life by an on-fire cast.
171770 Samuel R. Murrian Parade Magazine Fresh 2022-01-04T00:30:20Z 2022-01-04 00:30:20 Some critics say the camp factor is a detriment. Hardly. Ridley Scott's obscenely entertaining true crime film is the kind of movie that doesn't get made very much anymore...
171771 Keva York ABC News (Australia) Fresh 2022-01-04T00:20:20Z 2022-01-04 00:20:20 With some minor alterations, House of Gucci could've been a showstopper. I guess it still is, in its own, wonky way - and I happen to think that Paolo Gucci looks pretty striking in that pink corduroy, no?
171773 Sandra Hall Sydney Morning Herald Fresh 3.5/5 2022-01-04T00:20:18Z 2022-01-04 00:20:18 Lady Gaga makes an immediate and indelible impression as Patrizia Reggiani, the future Signora Gucci, in Ridley Scott's film about the Guccis' fractured history.

What is beyond discussion is that House of Gucci is fabulously entertaining from end-to-end.
171778 Mara Reinstein Us Weekly Fresh 2021-12-28T18:50:10Z 2021-12-28 18:50:10 It's long and poorly paced and plays too loose with the facts. Oh, well! The bonkers true story that chronicles the unraveling of the Italian fashion empire is also first-class frothy and fun entertainment.

171792 Sankhayan Ghosh Film Companion Fresh 2021-12-22T01:20:16Z 2021-12-22 01:20:16 The timeline of Ridley Scott's film roughly spans from the early seventies to the mid nineties, and there is a lot that happens in between: power grabs, backstabbing, a full-fledged family feud.
171794 Lapacazo Magrira Sandoval New York Amsterdam News Fresh 2021-12-22T01:20:15Z 2021-12-22 01:20:15 House of Gucci is a movie about shifting power. It's so riveting watching this brand and family implode-you can't look away.

171796 Matt Goldberg Collider Rotten B- 2021-12-21T23:00:15Z 2021-12-21 23:00:15 House of Gucci never seems entirely sure how seriously it should take its characters. It should have just followed Leto's lead and been a blast.
171797 Sean P. Means The Movie Cricket Rotten 2.5/4 2021-12-21T16:30:16Z 2021-12-21 16:30:16 Clearly Scott has told Gaga to go big or go home, and she goes big in every scene, until the law of diminishing returns takes her and the movie down. But it's a wild ride along the way.

171799 Chad Byrnes L.A. Weekly Rotten 2021-12-20T21:20:16Z 2021-12-20 21:20:16 The film goes for more of a contemplative affair, and sadly, it doesn't work with the narrative, which switches from serious to absurd like a model changing clothes at a runway show.
171800 Deirdre Crimmins C-Ville (VA) Fresh 2021-12-20T20:40:18Z 2021-12-20 20:40:18 At two hours and 38 minutes, the film shuffles along at its own pace, but it's still enough campy fun to earn our attention.
171801 Sarah Marrs Lainey Gossip Rotten 2021-12-19T04:00:09Z 2021-12-19 04:00:09 House of Gucci is a shockingly boring film that doesn't seem to know where to focus.
171802 Brandon Collins Medium Popcorn Rotten 2/5 2021-12-17T14:30:09Z 2021-12-17 14:30:09 There are some entertaining points in this film but the uneven pacing and performances are too distracting to enjoy this. I'm not sure who this film is ultimately for except for folks who like over the top performances.
171803 Lee Jutton Film Inquiry Fresh 2021-12-17T07:00:11Z 2021-12-17 07:00:11 As a vehicle for everything Lady Gaga excels at as a performer-including commitment, charisma, and visual splendor-House of Gucci could be considered a great success.
171804 Kevin A. Ranson MovieCrypt.com Rotten 2/4 2021-12-16T23:40:18Z 2021-12-16 23:40:18 If the point was to treat the characters like animals in a zoo, laughing and pointing at them through the glass for being what they are, mission accomplished, but doing so renders the climax trivial and the rest of the production unimportant.

171806 Tim Brayton Alternate Ending Rotten 2.5/5 2021-12-15T21:50:13Z 2021-12-15 21:50:13 A tale of operatic melodrama and violent plotting in the world of Italian high fashion that is somehow not even slightly interested in kitsch or camp.
171807 Matthew Passantino Big Picture Big Sound Rotten 2/4 2021-12-15T02:20:13Z 2021-12-15 02:20:13 "House of Gucci" is one of the big letdowns of the year.
171808 Sarah Knight Adamson Sarah's Backstage Pass Fresh 3/4 2021-12-12T03:10:09Z 2021-12-12 03:10:09 Director Ridley Scott has created an enticing film that captures the Gucci family dynamic while highlighting Lady Gaga and making her his centerpiece.
171809 Eileen Jones The Jacobin Rotten 2021-12-11T01:00:28Z 2021-12-11 01:00:28 Lady Gaga captures every scene in House of Gucci, and she's backed up by a stellar supporting cast. But the film somehow ends up going far too soft on the Gucci family's absolute sociopathy and appallingly hideous clothes.
171810 Max Weiss Baltimore Magazine Fresh 3.5/4 2021-12-10T21:00:24Z 2021-12-10 21:00:24 It gave me everything I needed -- and then some. I wanted the film to be over-the-top, messy, silly, involving, gorgeous, stylish -- and it's all those things.
