Martin (John Amplas), a young man who looks around 20-years-old, boards a train in Indianapolis, Indiana for New York. At night, he breaks into a sleeping car and sedates a woman with a syringe full of narcotics. She struggles, but he tells her not to struggle or be upset because she wont feel pain. After a few minutes, the woman falls asleep, and Martin has sex with the unconscious woman. Afterwards, he slices her wrists with a razor blade so he can drink her blood. The woman bleeds to death in her sleep.
In the morning, the train stops in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania where Martin disembarks. He is met by Tata Cuda (Lincoln Maazel) an elderly and hostile old man who claims to be his cousin from the Old World. Together, they travel by another train to the town of Braddock, a dying industrial suburb. They walk to Cuda's large house where he shows Martin his living quarters. Cuda then accuses Martin of being an 84-year-old vampire from his old country. He has taken in Martin because he is family, but tells him, "First I will save your soul. Then I shall destroy you." Martin denies being a vampire and implies that Cuda is merely his uncle rather than his cousin. Cuda then puts up strings of garlic on the doors to his and his granddaughter's room, and then holds up a small cross when Martin approaches him. Martin takes away the cross, and even takes a bite of the garlic mocking these attempts by saying bitterly, "There's no real magic... ever". Cuda tells Martin that he can come and go as he pleases. But he also warns Martin that he will kill him if he kills anyone in Braddock. He also tells Martin to stay away from his granddaughter Christine (Christine Forrest), whom arrives home from her job that evening.
Cuda introduces Christine to Martin, but also warns her to stay away from him. But Christine instead strikes up a friendship with Martin who confides in her about his vampire heritage. When Cuda later confirms Martin's claims to be a vampire, Christine, not surprisingly, refuses to believe either one. She thinks that Cuda and the other members of her family have driven Martin to insanity by making him think that he is a vampire. It is never revealed if Martin really is a vampire, or just a shy and lonely youth with troubled issues. Christine is the only person that Martin gets the courage to talk to. When Christine's boyfriend Arthur (Tom Savini) arrives at the house for dinner, Martin stops talking and backs away despite Arthur's attempt at a conversation. Christine later confides in Martin that she hopes to leave Braddock someday with Arthur, even though Martin points out that Arthur treats her badly and is both verbally and physically abusive towards her.
When Christine sees that Martin won't talk to anyone else, she buys him a phone which he installs in his room. Martin begins to repeatingly call a radio talk show where he describes what it's like to be a vampire. He becomes known on the radio as "the Count" to all the listeners. But the patronizing host (Michael Gornick) thinks he's just crazy.
Martin gets a job at Cuda's grocery store of stocking shelves, hauling boxes around, and even gets to be a delivery boy for some of the customers. One of his customers is a certain Abby Santini (Elyane Nadeau), who becomes taken in with Martin. She is a very friendly young woman who is depressed when she tells Martin that her husband is unfaithful. But Martin still does not have the nerve to talk with her, so she is happy to have someone to confide in with her life problems. Martin phones the radio show host to describe his infatuation with the housewife and senses that she wants to have sex with him. When the radio show host asks Martin if it is a sexual problem that he has involving women criticizing him during sex, Martin replies that he has never had sex with a woman who was awake.
One day, Martin travels by train to outside Braddock to look for victims. At a supermarket, he follows a young woman (Sarah Venable) home to her posh suburban house. He sees the woman's husband (Richard Rubenstein) leave for a long business trip, and Martin decides this would be the right time for more feeding. Martin returns to the house after dark and breaks in through the garage door. But it is Martin who gets the surprise when he bursts into her bedroom to find her in bed with her adulterous lover Lewis (Al Levitsky). After a vicious struggle, Martin jabs both of them with hyprodermic needles with narcotics, and waits for the drugs to take affect. He drags the unconscious body of Lewis from the house to a clump of trees across the street where he kills him by shoving a broken tree branch into his neck and drinks his blood. Martin returns to the house where he has sex with the unconscious woman. But out of compassion and pity, he decides to let her live.
Martin begins to have romantic monochrome visions of his vampire past (real or imagined), where he drained blood from a young woman and was chased through the streets of a nameless European town by a torch-lit mob.
During one Sunday at church, Cuda brings home Father Howard (George A. Romero) who asks him about the possibility of exorcism and demon possession. Father Howard calls upon the elderly Father Zulemans (Clifford Forrest, Jr.) over at Cuda's request. Together, Cuda and Zulemans confront Martin his bedroom and attempt to perform an exorcism on him. At this point, Martin remembers (another real or imaginary flashback), in the Old Country of people trying to perform an exorcism on him, and he flees them. Martin then flees from Cuda and Zuelmas as well. A little later that night, Martin terrorizes Cuda in a children's playground when he puts on a Dracula cape and puts false fangs into his mouth to pretend that he really is a vampire.
One day, Martin finally musters the courage to talk with Mrs. Santini during a routine delivery to her house where he tells her that he's aware of her attempts to seduce him and wants now to have sex with her. After having sex for the first time, Mrs. Santini becomes more depressed for she tells Martin that her husband just left her because she discovered that she cannot bear children, and that her desires towards him are based on sex and nothing else. But Martin wants to stay with her and help her move on with her life. Martin tells the radio show host about his affair with the housewife and that he no longer has the urge to attack other women.
Meanwhile, Arthur meets with Cuda and tells him that he wants Christine to leave town with him so they can get married and start a family. But Christine becomes angry at Cuda when he tells Arthur that insanity runs in their family and he shouldn't consider having children with her. Shortly afterwards, Christine packs up and leaves Braddock for New York with Arthur despite Martin telling her that Arthur is abusive towards her. But her mind is made up. Before leaving, Christine tells Martin that she really has no ill feelings towards him and just wants to make a fresh start with her life. She says goodbye to him and promises to write. But Martin knows that with an abusive and possessive man in Christine's life, she probably won't.
Depressed over losing his one true friend, Martin phones the radio show host and tells him that he's getting "shaky" and wants to go out looking for more victims. That night, Martin travels to a rough crime-ridden area of Pittsburgh and attacks two derelicts in a alley, injecting them with narcotics. He kills one of them by silting the bum's wrist and drinking his blood. Martin is about to kill the second one when a police car shows up and gives chase. Martin narrowly escapes during a long chase on foot which leads from the garbage strew streets and through a local store. Martin runs into an old warehouse where a drug deal is going down. A shootout between the two cops and the three thugs begins where all of them are killed, leaving Martin as the sole survivor who casually walks away from the carnage.
One day, Martin finds Mrs. Santini dead in her bathtub, after she had slit her writs with a razor blade. Martin anonymously calls the police to report the body and leaves. He phones the radio show host one final time to say that he really doesn't need friends or people to talk to for he is his own person. But when Cuda learns about Mrs. Santini's suicide, is mistakenly thinks Martin killed her and made it look like a suicide as he's done before. Cuda walks into Martin's room while he is asleep and kills him by hammering a wooden stake through Martin's heart.
Cuda buries Martin's body in his back garden, while over the closing credits various voices from people are heard talking to the radio show host asking the whereabouts of "the Count".
老雷的作品慢慢少了锐气，更多的是平铺直叙，但是这片不能说差，起码节奏很稳，还不算冗长。最后居然已无现存GUCCI家族成员管理GUCCI，也是应了那句老话：“富不过三代”。三个亮点，一是配乐，二是gaga最后的一抱一赶，一个是莱托。
【2】作为流水账来说，没有烂得一无是处，但也毫无可看性。一群硬学意大利口音的英美人各演各的，且全体表演状态都在发疯。每一段小情节各说各的，硬凑了个长片出来。
看完以后面无表情，这点破事墨迹两个半小时？
我真的超级不喜欢这种影像风格，浓浓的滤镜质感，廉价且没有想像力。剧本也乏善可陈，对于一个自己在高中时代喜欢过女同桌的30加成年人来说，这部电影呈现的情感层次我是完全不满足的，且正是由于这种情感层次的缺乏，就一直靠煽情来圈观众（最后还来一段真人采访，求求了，电影不要这样拍）。坦白讲2021回头去拍2001的发生在香港女校的女孩之间的爱情，能够做得也远不止于此，遗憾。
雷师傅估计自己也不知道为什么要拍这么个无聊玩意
和品牌的关系不多，和品牌家族的私事过多......Lady Gaga一开始还真没有看出来
纯情女通讯录的故事，只是看多了成全别人，感动也显得廉价。
Gucci品牌和家族的兴衰历史，既能了解历史又能吃瓜。
优缺点都很明显。表达情感够真挚，但技术及能力欠缺。花活太多没必要。李芯悦这个演员以后应该会出来，层次感表现的可以。三星
两星半。杨偲泳只要有水的镜头都好美，雨中激吻、浴室拥吻把她都拍得温柔且脆弱，在这种名场面里完全盖过了人物的内心逻辑。我很喜欢雨中激吻那场戏，虽然转折略微生硬，但是是为数不多的女同电影中很勇敢的画面，什么是青春，青春就是燃烧自己，她们那一刻就是，热情并没有被雨水浇灭。电影有一个有趣的设定是，学校发觉二人的亲密关系，找来了双方的家长谈话，父亲与父亲一见面先是问对方高就，再然后即说女孩子之间这么玩在一起没什么，他们觉得学校太夸张，这一点很有意思，以“接受”的态度来不承认这段关系的定义，随着时间流逝人事变幻，这个问题也成为了女主角心里的问题，这也是电影没有做得很好的一点，我们不一定非得要去对一段情感下一个定义，是友情、爱情、亲情都不重要，但电影则一直在这个点上落脚，不停的强调，又没有升华递进的空间。
谈善言在同辈演员中已经出类拔萃许久，杨偲泳这次表现亮眼，温柔又坚定，调皮又成熟。两位女演员几场感情冲突的戏份，都很令人动容，最后互表心意的结尾看哭了。
Maurizio的转变不是很清晰，Patrizia倒是从头就流露出野心，Paolo在提供绊倒Aldo的线索时就该想到自己踏入狼穴。以上三位的演技是本片最大看点，另一大看点：紧凑好看的开头。Maurizio和Patrizia的悲剧，其走向全靠台词而非剧情演绎本身，算是一大问题吧。Driver恐成Ridley老爷子新宠！From Paterson to Marriage Story to Annette to The Last Duel, and last but not the least, House of Gucci, now every woman wants to f*ck Adam Driver. When I say “every woman”, I mean myself ;-)
原以为是烧脑商战+家族狗血 没想到拍出来是一出类型杂糅的流水账
Maurizio（男主）从小是个乖宝宝，干啥都好，讨大人喜欢，直到遇到了女主，最后在女主的诱发刺激下，玩火自焚。Patrizia（女主，Lady GaGa），灰姑娘？不是，毒皇后差不多，借助自己的美貌和手段，还有个“巫婆”加持，中产阶级出生的她到底也融不进去这个“贵族”群体，还是想要的太多吧。Paolo，没啥才华，还目光短浅，胆小怕事有点二，但他可是少爷Jared Leto饰演的。
震惊于这么好的故事被拍成了这样！演员演得都好用力啊，嘎嘎和莱托能不能别演戏了
lady Gaga身材打五分，剧情打三分，
麦家琪、童爱玲两位女神的出现，可算是这部电影的最大彩蛋了。
以流水账形式记录豪门秘辛，以过家家形式还原家族内斗，精彩指数还不如上晋江随便找本宅斗文。
男主女主都是叹息桥里面的，剧情就是两个女主搞同性恋的一些往事。
