House of Gucci reactions praise Lady Gaga & Adam Driver performances

House of Gucci, first reactions, Lady Gaga, Jared Leto, Adam Driver

The first reactions to Ridley Scott’s House of Gucci have begun trickling out following the film’s world premiere in London. Those reactions are unfortunately a little mixed, with some saying that the film is an overlong melodrama, but there seems to be plenty of praise for the leading actors such as Lady Gaga, Adam Driver, and Jared Leto. However, for everyone calling upon those involved to win an Oscar are others who say that the performances are way over the top. Seems like we’ll have to check this one out for ourselves. Check out the House of Gucci reactions below!

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

I loved #HouseofGucci, mainly because Lady Gaga, Adam Driver and Jared Leto are SO GOOD. About 30 mins too long but still had a great time. And can’t wait for the countless memes to start surfacing

Is #HouseOfGucci a “good” movie? In many ways it’s a mess, but the costumes and the camp accents (“GOOTCH-eeee”) and the pure bonkers Ridley Scott melodrama of it all still felt like a balm for my weary sweatpants soul

I didn’t love House of Gucci but I loved every moment Jared Leto was onscreen. Beyond the unrecognizability it’s just a go for broke performance, it’s so out there, yet somehow feels like the most authentic thing in the movie. Paolo for president. #PaoloforOscar #HouseofPaolo

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

House of Gucci is a bloated & uneven mess that feels like two different movies rolled in one. Every single cast member acts as though they are in a different movie except for Al Pacino, who seems to have understood the assignment and serves as the film’s MVP. #HouseofGucci pic.twitter.com/Y5NvVkNvqI

#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

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

#HouseOfGucci Big & soapy, this really hit the spot for me. Everything Leto & Pacino do is lol ridiculous, yet nicely balanced with Driver & Gaga’s mannered 50s melodrama turns. Ridley Scott has everyone acting in the same movie, while going big with glorious gusto.

If I had a vote, #HouseOfGucci would win SAG. I haven’t seen a better ensemble this year. DUNE comes close. But #LadyGaga devours the screen. Pacino is on a scorching streak with IRISHMAN and HOLLYWOOD. And whatever #JaredLeto is doing is mesmerizing. pic.twitter.com/H8q7CZKX3B

Ridley Scott's #HouseOfGucci is *very* good. While @ladygaga is excellent, @JaredLeto is next level with his portrayal of Paolo Gucci. Story is wild. Would be surprised if some of the performances aren't nominated in award season. pic.twitter.com/0fcit1oitX

These reactions make it seem like House of Gucci might be a bit of a mess, but at least it sounds like a highly entertaining mess. Toss in some scenery-chewing performances and you’ve got the makings of a good time at the theater.

Based on the novel The House of Gucci: A Sensational Story of Murder, Madness, Glamour, and Greed by Sara Gay Forden, House of Gucci is “inspired by the shocking true story of the family empire behind the Italian fashion house of Gucci. Spanning three decades of love, betrayal, decadence, revenge, and ultimately murder, we see what a name means, what it’s worth, and how far a family will go for control.” The film has quite a packed cast; in addition to Lady Gaga and Adam Driver, who star as Patrizia Reggiani and Maurizio Gucci, respectively, House of Gucci also stars Jared Leto, Jeremy Irons, Jack Huston, Salma Hayek, and Al Pacino.

House of Gucci is set to hit theaters on November 24th.
