De titel, met in de hoofdrollen Lady Gaga, Jeremy Irons, Adam Driver, Jared Leto en Al Pacino, wordt zonder schaamte vergeleken met de misdaadklassieker der misdaadklassiekers, The Godfather.
De critici lijken consistent in hun beoordelingen. Ze noemen het 'campy' karakter, maar de uitvoeringen 'transformatief', 'solide' en 'the real deal'. Met name de performance van Gaga wordt geprezen.
Andere beschrijvingstermen die worden gebruikt, zijn '(over)gespannen, kluchtige borderline' en 'crowdpleaser', wat klinkt als goed nieuws.
Ridley Scott's HOUSE OF GUCCI is The Godfather, set in the world of fashion. It's magnificently tense, and a borderline farcical, but it works so well because the entire cast is EXTRAORDINARY. Leto, Pacino, Gaga, Driver... all incredible. Ridley owns 2021. pic.twitter.com/QhJixhkidb

GUCCI! #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 pic.twitter.com/BphR07VLP5

#HouseOfGucci is Shakespearean in its execution. A solid story of greed and a hunger for success at any cost is dotted with tragi-comedic interludes - both entertaining in different ways. With solid performances, if campy and overegged at times, it works but could do with a trim. pic.twitter.com/q7EAfqQpm0

Now that the HOUSE OF GUCCI social embargo has lifted, I can finally say that Lady Gaga is in the movie playing an Italian person.

#HouseofGucci is delicious and fun. Couldn't take my eyes off of it. @ladygaga and @JaredLeto are the most delicious of the bunch.

HOUSE OF GUCCI is not a good movie but it is a good time?

#HouseofGucci is an overwrought slog without any discernible direction. Too many narrative focuses stacked on top of one another. Glitzy talented names hamming it up in wealth porn can be fun, but not enough to save the movie from its own messiness

#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.

Lady Gaga plays the best Lady Macbeth I've ever seen in a movie in #HouseOfGucci. pic.twitter.com/amx2egQCBK

HOUSE OF GUCCI: Spend your Thanksgiving with this family. Lady Gaga is the real deal - coming for acting nom #2. Adam Driver, Al Pacino, Jared Leto also in the mix. I respect so much about this film, including how it allows almost every character to exist in shades of gray... pic.twitter.com/4oqxsIPIIK
