Here's how the movie is being received so far:
has probably the best chance any of this year’s would-be Oscar contenders, save for maybe Steven Spielberg’s, of actually becoming a theatrical hit. I don’t want to get too excited, as I honestly thought Will Smith’s terrifichad a chance in hell last weekend. However, the splashy, tawdry and unapologetically grown-up fashion-centric crime caper/melodrama has earned its share of outside-the-bubble buzz due to the promise of campy hijinks and the sheer star power of its top-billed star.
Box office hopes for the $75 million-budgeted flick, as well as theoretical Oscar season hopes for Gaga and maybe Jared Leto , is the movie any good? Alas, no. Ridley Scott’swas one of the best films of the year. Still, it’s not hard to see why a grim, R-rated medieval melodrama about a rape accusation didn’t scream “escapist date night at the movies,” both before and during the current Covid pandemic.shares some loose thematic elements with last month’s release.
, the picture has a distinctive look and polished production values associated with one of the last filmmakers regularly “allowed” to spend this kind of money sans franchise within the Hollywood system. Everyone in the able cast comes to play.
As a young woman who romances her way into the family and then attempts to maintain the legacy of her new surname , Gaga is relishing the chance to star as someone other than a fictionalized version of herself. Her Patrizia Reggiani is a fiery flirt and quite persistent despite initial hesitations of her would-be romantic conquest. Driver initially plays the favorite son/heir to the empire as a reluctant cold fish, both in romance and business.
Salma Hayek has a fine cameo as a woman who becomes Gaga’s late-in-the-game comrade as the latter becomes less essential to her family, but Driver’s major character shift in the third act seems to have occurred off-screen. Sure, you can argue “that’s the way it goes,” which undoubtedly is partially the point, but it never helps to wonder if you missed a scene during an initial viewing.
