In June 2006, Ridley Scott was set to direct a film about the downfall of the Gucci family dynasty, with Andrea Berloff writing the script, despite the family's dismissal of the project, with Angelina Jolie and Leonardo DiCaprio rumored to play Patrizia Reggiani and Maurizio Gucci. In February 2012, Scott's daughter Jordan Scott had replaced him as director and was in talks with Penélope Cruz to play Reggiani. In November 2016, Wong Kar-wai took over as director from Jordan Scott, with Charles Randolph writing alongside Berloff and Margot Robbie now considered to play Reggiani. In November 2019, Ridley Scott was once again set to direct the film, with Roberto Bentivegna writing the script, and Lady Gaga set to star. According to the Gucci CEO, Marco Bizzarri, the fashion house cooperated with the production and gave them full access to their archives for wardrobe and props.

Behind every great man is a great woman? Of course no. But Lady Gaga outplayed everyone here, and the character of her heroine is stronger than anyone in the Gucci house. Too bad it’s too destructive. They go far… but, fortunately, sometimes the police still stop them. Translated to English

Watching now
The only Scott movie I haven’t seen yet. I close the gap. The genre is boring, the actors in the main roles are not the most beloved. Yes, even horse timekeeping. What to do. Must, means must. Translated to English

Watched
Superficial plot, unjustified timing, bad acting. Pacino’s father. All Translated to English

Watched
Didn’t evoke any emotion, didn’t sympathize with any of the characters. Yes, and not to anyone :) Very average, even without expecting anything, I expected more. Translated to English

Watched
A beautiful biopic with a terrible cut script and worthless gluing, with some biographical facts thrown out of the plot. The film is pulled by the excellent acting of the actors, especially Gaga and Leto. Globe and Oscar nominations are likely to be received, statuettes are unlikely. Soundtrack+! Translated to English

Watched
Good biopic. The costumes are excellent, the cast is chic, the smooth narration does not allow you to fall asleep on such a huge timing. The cast is the highlight of this film. The actors "pull out" a not too original story "about toads and vipers", of which there are thousands in our lives. Translated to English

Watched
The plot is interesting, but in the middle it becomes tedious and boring. It’s good that the plot picks up pace towards the end. Thanks to absolutely all the actors: Jeremy Irons, Al Pacino, Jared Leto, Lady Gaga, and especially Adam Driver, who again lit up with Mr. Ridley Scott)) Translated to English

Watched
Correctly, the father said to Maurizio: – "Live with her, fuck her, but do not marry her!" Didn’t expect the movie to be so great. I sincerely wonder where is it boring, where is it drawn out? I did not have time to look back, as it ended and I was not enough .. Bravo, Ridley Scott! Translated to English

Watched
Loved the costumes and acting. The family drama of the rich is always interesting to watch. I know that a lot of things do not correspond to real events, but it’s wonderful. The development of characters and their plans is incredibly interesting. And of course the charming Al Pacino. Translated to English

Watched
I haven’t watched biopics for a hundred years and I won’t for the same number of years – always the wildest timing, a bunch of the coolest actors and personal / family squabbles and problems that don’t touch either the mind or the heart at all. For make-up, Summer reaches 7. Check mark. Translated to English

Watched
Ambiguous impressions. Quite an interesting story, but too stretched timing. And if this did not interfere with the Last duel, then the second and third acts sat well here. The characters are all moderately disgusting, but that’s how it should be. Gaga not impressed Translated to English

Watched
Listen, Ridley cleverly came up with this, I didn’t even understand at first. Made me come to Fast and the Furious for the second time in a year Translated to English

Watched
Oh, I’ve been digesting this movie for a week. Beautiful shots, luxurious views and outfits. And at the same time a story about vices, competition, cruelty. The film caused a lot of resistance, sadness, shocked. A good illustration of "action=consequence", especially if you cross the line. Bitter aftertaste. Translated to English

Watched
Fake of the year, but GOOD!!! Imagine that you were given that thing from this company, everything is super, but you find something strange and try to figure it out. This is how I can describe my emotions at the expense of this film, otherwise the film is suitable :) Translated to English

Watched
Treason and betrayal in any family is a collapse, in the Italian "clan" it is a disaster! It is easy to look at and tightened with viewing. Beauty without peace! Translated to English

Watched
With a mind-blowing cast and such sluggish "fighting" in the family. Apparently here Ridley was sarcastic about The Godfather)). The driver did not give a drive, but drags everything at least somehow, only Gaga, which is more surprising. Most likely this is a commercial order from Gucci. Translated to English

Watched
Great drama about a femme fatale. Grandfather starts the movie especially well, it looks very fun. The middle would be quite boring if it were not for the wonderful cast with convincing roles of suitable people. The ending finally drags the movie, connecting beautifully with the beginning and leaving an aftertaste. Translated to English

Watched
The first half of the film is great, the second half not so much. In general, not a bad film, but you can watch it at home, and I don’t plan to review it personally. Translated to English

Watched
Despite the timing of 2:40 (obviously it could have been shortened), the film came out very interesting! Casting actors TOP! Lady Gaga, played chic, Jared Leto is an incredible reincarnation, it is impossible to recognize him! Beautiful Italy, beautiful costumes (especially for men)🤩️ Translated to English

Watched
Lady Gaga is great and very sexy, and Jared Leto is overacting. At the end of the film, I had the feeling that it was too long, but at the same time, all the scenes were important enough for the plot, and if something was cut out, it would be worse. This should be watched at home, not in the movies. Translated to English

Watched
You have to give Ridley his due: making a film about a fashion house so unaesthetic, unrefined and tasteless is quite a feat. Translated to English

Watched
Too slow storytelling. Many dialogues are drawn out or not needed at all. The chic play of the actors overshadows the sometimes sagging plot, only for the actress I put such an assessment. In general, upset Translated to English

Watched
Luxurious and elegant film adaptation of a Wikipedia article, the journalistic style of history is very much felt. I was a little confused in the chronology and events due to excessive length, which was confusing, but still Scott was able to make something interesting out of this story. Summer is amazing. 7.5/10 Translated to English

Watched
Ridley Scott. Lady Gaga. Adam Driver. Jared Leto. Glamorous crime drama based on real events. In my opinion the actors are excellent. "Gucci is a family business with family problems" Translated to English
