In the theater now to see House of Gucci.

Note: Tom Ford's comments were not bad.
ETA: Post-Movie review-
It was entertaining, like watching a train wreck you can see coming from a mile away. I felt tension throughout the movie because I wanted to get caught up in the nostalgia of the fashion and music. However, certain things made me cringe, such as watching awkward social class issues and watching manipulation cause ironic outcomes.
Lady Gaga did a good job carrying the movie. Al Pacino was good, and I felt there was contrast between this character and his past characters. Jared Leto was unrecognizable as a person but did a good job as the character. I like Adam Driver in this movie, which is surprising because I dislike him in the recent Star Wars movies as Kylo Ren. I think Selma Hayek did a good job, although it was odd seeing her not trying to be hot or the center of attention. I think I knew the cast a little too much for me to totally suspend reality.
I did watch the direct comparison of Lady Gaga Vs Patrizia. I think she does a good job at being Patrizia herself but not a typical regional accent because she delivers a lot of smooth dialogue that omits "eh" and "ay" sounds and filler words (English speaker often use "um", "hmm", "well", "ah", "uh", "err" as their filler words). This point was not a distraction for me when watching the movie, and actually probably made the movie more watchable.

Tom Ford Jeers ‘House of Gucci': ‘I Often Laughed Out Loud, but Was I Supposed To?’
"I was not completely sure that I wasn’t watching a 'Saturday Night Live' version of the tale," the filmmaker says
