Full disclosure, I've never been a fan of Adam Driver. I can't think of anything he's ever done that's any good and this is no exception. I used to think Kevin Costner or Warren Beatty was the worst actor in Hollywood, then I saw Adam Driver lower the bar somehow.
Ironically, he is not the biggest problem with the movie. The biggest problem with the movie is it sucks. It's easily the most vapid movie this decade. If this film were made well, it could only appeal to the most pretentious. Pompous and superficial audience who actually care about fashion brands.
Princess problems aside, it tries to connect the drama of the Gucci family with Driver's marriage and a successful textile / fashion business. It seems to suck ceed more at the family side and less at the business side.
If you want to see this actually done well, watch "The Founder" with Michael Keaton. Every metric of that movie was exponentially better than every metric of HoG.
On the upside Lady Gaga actually turned in the best performance in this flop. Jeremy Irons probably took 2nd but his part was a small one, and Al Pacino phoned this turd in.
The good news is you won't walk out because you'll be asleep before the 1st act is over. They should add "don't snore" to the "no cell phone" and "no talking" warnings before this one.
