‘House of Gucci’ movie review: Lady Gaga’s extraordinary turn as Patrizia Reggiani steals the show

The Hindu  

When Patrizia Reggiani devoutly makes the sign of the cross and says “Father, son and House of Gucci,” you get a sense of what the luxury fashion brand meant to the working-class girl. The film, based on Sara Gay Forden’s 2001 book, The House of Gucci: A Sensational Story of Murder, Madness, Glamour, and Greed, tells the story of the downfall of the family-owned business through the lens of the outsider, Patrizia. House of Gucci Director: Ridley Scott Cast: Lady Gaga, Adam Driver, Jared Leto, Jeremy Irons, Salma Hayek, Al Pacino Story line: A look at the grime, crime and glamour in the heritage Italian fashion brand Run time: 157 minutes A movie on a venerable fashion house has to be beautifully-clothed and costume designer Janty Yates does not disappoint. Saving the best for the last is the acting—Lady Gaga has done an extraordinary turn as Patrizia, wading into her role like a gladiator of old, nailing Patrizia’s ferocity and fragility.
