House of Gucci: Review
Following my positive (yet kind of lukewarm) response to The Last Duel, I was hoping that Ridley Scott’s second directorial venture this year, House of Gucci, would turn the tables a little and give me something to chew on. On paper, it’s a lot more up my alley than The Last Duel: a Lady Gaga-led…
