Ridley Scott

Tangential to the Gucci drama is the love story, and the ultimate tragedy therein.  Driver, Gaga, and company do their individualized best to raise the roof of this venerable house as they are able, but the filmmaker himself may simply be too comfortable in this high-end, high-stakes world to tailor it for the masses.  Scott’s designer bag of tricks, while still impressive to look upon, remains rather empty… and unfortunately kind of dull.
