With that being said, Ridley Scott’s new film portrays the family drama and the betrayal story of the Italian family that changed everything we know about the Gucci brand today. While the movie travels through occasional dullness, long runtime, and a choppy story, it includes some incredible performances as well, especially by Lady Gaga.
With that being said, if one liked House of Gucci, here are 5 other similar movies –
The Wolf of the Wall Street

While he builds his career at a brokerage firm, soon FBI targets him and tries to spiral down his life for defrauding investors. The movie highlights Belfort’s ambition for making wealth and eventually shows the consequences of his crimes as well.
A Perfect Murder
A Perfect Murder (1998) is a story about Steven Taylor, a Wall Street financer, who comes to know about his wife’s infidelity. As a result, he plans to kill his wife by hiring none another than his wife’s lover. He also plans the murder to earn millions of money by claiming the insurance. Apparently, the plan fails. Precisely, it has everything similar to that of House of Gucci – murder, ambition, betrayal, and whatnot.
Cruella
Disney recently reinvented Cruella de Vil from 101 Dalmations. With that said, Cruella (2021) follows Estella who adopts the persona of Cruella to vengeance against none another than the Baroness. While the movie is purely made for children and family, it somewhat presents a similar theme as House of Gucci. Apart from all its supremacy, it is Emma Stone who highlights and echoes a fantastic performance in the film.
Gone Girl
In the 2014 released movie, a girl named Amy Dunne goes missing and as the media discovers more about her life and her marriage, her husband, Nick Dunne, becomes the prime suspect. However, the plot goes completely different from what it looked like in the beginning. Talking about Gone Girl’s similarity with House of Gucci, Amy Dunne was indeed a headstrong personality, and quite ambitious, just like Patrizia Reggiani. However, Dunne reflected more layers and sensibility when it comes to the wicked characterization.
All Good Things
2010 released, All Good Things, have most similar scenes when compared with House of Gucci and its biological influence. Precisely there are quite some similarities between both the films in terms of the plot and the characterization. While All Good Things have had some flaws during its execution, the masterful acting from Frank Langella, Ryan Gosling, and Kirsten Dunst overlapped all.
