House Of Gucci is branded 'an absurdly enjoyable Italian soap opera'

House Of Gucci has won rave early reviews from critics following its world premiere in London on Tuesday evening. 

The Lady Gaga and Adam Driver-fronted movie, which follows the true story of Patrizia Reggiani's plot to kill her husband Maurizio Gucci, was met with praise and branded 'an absurdly enjoyable Italian soap opera' packed with 'juicy camp'.

At the forefront of the praise was Gaga, whose role as Patrizia , who married Adam's character Maurizio in the 1970s - and had him killed by a hit man in the 1995 a decade after their divorce, was tipped for award glory by the pros. 

Despite a flood of glowing feedback, some were less than impressed with the eagerly-awaited Ridley Scott movie.

One reviewer penned: porn clips 'House of Gucci is a bloated & uneven mess that feels like two different movies rolled in one.

The long-awaited movie will bow in the US on November 24 and the UK on the 26th.
