HOUSE OF GUCCI is an enjoyable biopic despite a climax that could have been better as the movie should have took ten to twenty minutes to chronicle what happened after the climatic scenes. Director Ridley Scott does a great job with a fantastic cast, but Lady Gaga steals every scene she is in and this movie proves that her performance in A STAR IS BORN wasn't just a fluke. I hope we get to see her act in another movie very soon because she can act as well as she sings.

HOUSE OF GUCCI is inspired by the true story of Partrizia Reggioni (Lady Gaga) who starts with humble beginnings and catches the eye of a member of the Gucci family (Adama Driver). She marries into the family and starts to exert her control over the Gucci empire which has unintended consequences for the Gucci family and business.

SPECIAL FEATURES:
Three featurettes are on the disc, but there are more featurettes if your purchase the digital movie through VUDU:
THE RISE OF THE HOUSE OF GUCCI: MAKING OF
THE LADY OF THE HOUSE
STYLING HOUSE OF GUCCI

Also included into the package is the movie in standard definition on DVD and a digital code to stream or download movie via Apple TV/ iTunes (which sadly don't include access to the extras like many digital movies do via VUDU or Movies Anywhere).

FINAL ANALYSIS: I really enjoyed HOUSE OF GUCCI, but I feel they could have expanded the ending instead of wrapping up the movie too quickly after the climax. Lady Gaga steals every scene she is in and this movie is at least worth a watch.
