Can somebody go and check on Jared Leto? His performance in this is so fucking funny to me, I’d be surprised if this isn’t a shoe-in for a Razzie nomination. Every artistic choice this guy makes has to be the most overblown and ridiculous thing ever, whether that’s in his acting or his music. I wonder if he’s still capable of delivering a good performance when he doesn’t get to hide behind make-up and eccentricities. Not to say that the other actors are faring much better, pretty much everybody sounds like they’re doing a parody of an Italian accent, it sounds ridiculous. Some sound like they’re trying to imitate Mario, it’s that classic “ah, mamma mia, pizzeria” shtick that everyone does when they make fun of Italians. The only problem is: this isn’t a parody film, and the only actor that seems to get that to some extent is Adam Driver. You’d assume that most of these conversations were in Italian in real life, so nobody would care if you’d ditch these accents in an English language film, because it isn’t going to be completely realistic anyway. I just don’t get creative choices like this, especially from a legend like Ridley Scott, who seemed to understand this idea in his last film, which came out only 2 months ago. As for the film itself, I’d advise anyone to simply pretend that this is meant to be a campy comedy, because it’s not that good as an Oscar drama. Just watch _Succession_ if this seems intriguing to you.

I almost fell asleep in the theater. 45 minutes too long. I love Lady Gaga, but I liked the scenes without her the best. Maybe it was her awful accent? Not sure. Adam Driver was good but couldn’t save it. 3/10.

Feel like the material is really too much for a movie, even it's a 2h40 movie. It would be much better suited for a 6 or 8 episodes limited series. Like American Crime Story: Assassination of Versace. But I guess you can't call it American Crime story since it's happened in Italy. Even it's a long movie, you can feel many places are kinda rushed. In general, I enjoyed it, the story itself is fascinating, and the cast is amazing. Gaga is on fire, with her many golden lines. My favorite one was when she consoled Paola and asked her staff to get her out of her place right away. 😂 Savage!!! But i'm also quite disappointed the movie didn't include Patrizia's most famous quote "It's better to cry in Rolls Royce than to be happy on a bicycle."

As an Italian I find that it is too stereotyped and some facts are changed since in reality they did not go that way. If you are going to make a film about a true story, you should be dealing with the truth.

Still trying to understand how they managed to put all this great actors together and make such a horrible movie. Too long and boring, still waiting for something to happen.
