Diffuse in rete le prime reazioni della stampa americana a House of Gucci, nuovo film di Ridley Scott (in uscita il 24 novembre negli USA e il 16 dicembre in Italia) con Lady Gaga, Adam Driver, Jared Leto e Al Pacino. Il film, sceneggiato da Roberto Bentivegna con uno script basato sul libro di Sara Gay Forden The House of Gucci: A Sensational Story of Murder, Madness, Glamour, and Greed (La Saga dei Gucci), racconta la fosca vicenda dell'omicidio di Maurizio Gucci (Adam Driver). Lady Gaga è Patrizia Reggiani, l'ex moglie di Gucci che è stata processata e condannata per aver orchestrato il suo assassinio sui gradini del suo ufficio nel 1995.
Ebbene, i commenti su Twitter (in attesa delle recensioni) sono nettamente contrastanti, sia sul film stesso che sull'interpretazione di Lady Gaga, anima del progetto per alcuni, disastrosa per altri.
Erik Davis: #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
Anne Thompson: #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.
Brandon Katz: Al Pacino gives the best performance, Gaga overdoes it (somewhat by necessity of the role), Jared Leto is acting in an entirely different movie, and Adam Driver seems to understand what movie he's actually in. #HouseofGucci
Nikki Novak: 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
Clayton Davis: #HouseOfGucci is quite the animal. Campy, everything Ridley Scott wanted "The Counselor" to be but wasn't able to. Will be divided by many. Lady Gaga eats every morsel of her role up. Instantly the most quotable/meme-able movie since "Borat." Jared Leto best since his Oscar win.
Gregory Ellwood - The Playlist: 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.
