Although initial reviews for the film were promising, recent reviews have been pretty harsh.

[{"selector":"#anim-a87f786f-34f6-4554-8c6f-85035b3ae48b","keyframes":[{"transform":"scale(1)","offset":0},{"transform":"scale(1.01)","offset":0.33},{"transform":"scale(0.999)","offset":0.66},{"transform":"scale(1)","offset":1}],"delay":0,"duration":3000,"easing":"ease-in-out","fill":"both","iterations":1}]

One critic said that it lacked a “credible reason for existing.”

[{"selector":"#anim-3fabd362-36fa-4e89-8f83-d4512e01fc45","keyframes":[{"transform":"scale(1)","offset":0},{"transform":"scale(1.01)","offset":0.33},{"transform":"scale(0.999)","offset":0.66},{"transform":"scale(1)","offset":1}],"delay":0,"duration":3000,"easing":"ease-in-out","fill":"both","iterations":1}]

Another called it “a drawn-out cartoonist bio-drama masked as an award contender.”

[{"selector":"#anim-e1a52cd0-4206-49ab-95fd-e88863c4bb02","keyframes":[{"transform":"scale(1)","offset":0},{"transform":"scale(1.01)","offset":0.33},{"transform":"scale(0.999)","offset":0.66},{"transform":"scale(1)","offset":1}],"delay":0,"duration":3000,"easing":"ease-in-out","fill":"both","iterations":1}]

Other reviews have called it “tedious, threadbare, and unengaging.”

[{"selector":"#anim-878a4833-150d-4393-91cd-cd4fb16396e1","keyframes":[{"transform":"scale(1)","offset":0},{"transform":"scale(1.01)","offset":0.33},{"transform":"scale(0.999)","offset":0.66},{"transform":"scale(1)","offset":1}],"delay":0,"duration":3000,"easing":"ease-in-out","fill":"both","iterations":1}]

Many have complained about the accents, which sound more Russian than Italian.

[{"selector":"#anim-ac80b8e6-866a-4405-9e61-ce40927d7c8f","keyframes":[{"transform":"scale(1)","offset":0},{"transform":"scale(1.01)","offset":0.33},{"transform":"scale(0.999)","offset":0.66},{"transform":"scale(1)","offset":1}],"delay":0,"duration":3000,"easing":"ease-in-out","fill":"both","iterations":1}]

One review said the film was a lesson on “How To Make the Assassination of a Famous Person Boring.”

[{"selector":"#anim-babc1ae6-4a16-4c3d-a121-6241a396fce8","keyframes":[{"transform":"scale(1)","offset":0},{"transform":"scale(1.01)","offset":0.33},{"transform":"scale(0.999)","offset":0.66},{"transform":"scale(1)","offset":1}],"delay":0,"duration":3000,"easing":"ease-in-out","fill":"both","iterations":1}]

One critic joked, “it’s like watching the ‘Paparazzi’ music video on a loop for three hours.”

[{"selector":"#anim-d8398aec-55dd-4abe-bcc7-a4b86741680f","keyframes":[{"transform":"scale(1)","offset":0},{"transform":"scale(1.01)","offset":0.33},{"transform":"scale(0.999)","offset":0.66},{"transform":"scale(1)","offset":1}],"delay":0,"duration":3000,"easing":"ease-in-out","fill":"both","iterations":1}]

With all the negative reviews, it’s possible “Gucci” won’t be the Oscar contender many initially believed it to be.
