Others will be blown away by the tour de force showcase it is for Lady Gaga’s prodigious acting chops, and will be forced to admit to themselves that they were unexpectedly charmed by Jared Leto’s prosthetics-aided histrionic portrait of the family’s most tragic figure. ‘House of Gucci’ Dialogue Coach Admits Lady Gaga’s Accent Is More Russian Than ItalianĪ lot of talk surrounding House of Gucci, a 2-hour-and-38-minute film that manages to make a scorned wife’s hit on her former husband who was in charge of actual Gucci the least engaging arc, will be about expectations.īased on the casting and the trailer, some will be disappointed to know that the Shakespearean soap opera that was teased is instead a rather paint-by-numbers family drama. It’s that no one seems to understand what kind of film House of Gucci is, be it director Ridley Scott or the fans who watched the trailer and salivated for camp melodrama (and they’re not going to get it). It’s not just that Lady Gaga seems to have tinged her dialect with a bit of Russian, that Adam Driver barely has an accent at all, or that Jared Leto is channeling your favorite video game character: Is he Mario? Luigi? Wario? Waluigi? Choose your fighter! It’s that each of the performances belong in a different film.

If only the movie could rise above that distraction.
What kind of Italian accent? No one seems to know, and that is inevitably the central talking point when it comes to the new film House of Gucci.
If Father, Son, and House of Gucci is the Holy Trinity, as memorialized in the single-greatest line reading in cinematic history by Lady Gaga, then the scripture is delivered in Italian.
