I loved this movie. From Lady Gaga's gorgeous Italian accent, to an unrecognizable Jared Leto playing a sadly funny man who just can't do anything well enough to command respect among his powerfully successful relations. Adam Driver completely immersed himself in portraying Mauritzio Gucci. So much so that there was not a trace of his normally quirky, offbeat vibe anywhere in sight. I've never found him to be particularly magnetic or possessing of a certain powerful warmth that draws you in and subtly seduces, but in his portrayal of Gucci, he had all of this.
As for all the nit picking about who's Italian accent was most accurate, I really don't think the average viewer will fixate on whose vowel sounds were too guttural, or how many times Lady Gaga 'trilled' her rs correctly. It's simply a sumptuous, satisfyingly over the top movie about a larger than life family dynasty in the decadent atmosphere of the1980's excesses. Just enjoy it.
There are very few movies that I will watch more than once, but I'm already set to watch 'House of Gucci' a second time.
