Critic’s rating: ★½
(158 minutes; R)
Hollywood cheese, aged to perfection, perfect for pairing with your best worst wine.
Ideal for: connoisseurs of daytime soap, drama teachers looking for examples of bad overacting, and Adam Driver and Lady Gaga completists.
Caveat: Jared Leto is an awful lot of fun, whether or not he bears a shred of resemblance to Paolo Gucci. He deserves his own movie, no? Or at least a mini-series.
Conspiracy theory: “Ridley Scott” is the nom de plume of the hack who actually directed the thing.
