House Of Gucci Review: 6 Ups & 4 Downs

3. It's An Entertaining (If Uneven) Corporate Satire

House of Gucci is perhaps at its best when it really leans hard into making not-so-subtle fun of the Guccis and their lavish, detatched-from-reality lifestyle.

As a satire of both corporate culture and family dynasties, this is an often devastatingly funny - if, again, unsubtle - black comedy about ego-driven excess, and the poisonous power of greed.

There's nothing here in the way of a fresh message audiences haven't heard before, but Scott's scarcely-veiled contempt for almost every single character in the film is hilariously palpable, and serves as the rocket fuel to help it soar so often.

Don't expect something on the deified level of The Wolf of Wall Street, but in a time where the world's great inequalities are being laid barer than ever before, stories like this hit with a real bruising impact.
