House of Gucci

David Sims, Shirley Li, and Spencer Kornhaber try to decipher House of Gucci — what exactly is the new Ridley Scott film? Comedy? Tragedy? True-crime family epic? And what does the Lady Gaga / Adam Driver vehicle say about the state of movies? 

Only a few weeks ago, Ridley Scott’s well-reviewed The Last Duel flopped catastrophically and the director blamed younger generations’ attention spans. The trio discusses whether big-budget adult dramas have a future in theaters, and what these two very different movies seem to predict.

They also break down the very loud performances given by Lady Gaga and Jared Leto (“Boof!”), as well as favorite minor characters from the film.
