Victoria Gotti: My Father's Daughter

Great movie, loved how she told the story in her own way word ftom word.

I personally enjoyed this movie a lot.I really like the way she puts , " it down. that this is her life " in this world we share I got the feeling being. such a , " wise lady " helped keep her stay afloat. I really like the cast , they were , " on time " they carefully displayed , " their craft, " of being a good actor / actress. I didn't on've feel as though it was exaggerated or underestimated! Thank you , Keep up the good work Angelique C.

The life styles of the rich and infamous of the various Gotti family as outlined by the convicted (life in prison without parole) New York city crime lord John Gotti's daughter Victoria Gotti may all be true but the audience may come away thinking that this poor little "daddy's girl" was duped by both her father and her own husband of their evil ways and violent life of crime.

Make no mistake the Gotti's may have lived a wealthy lifestyle in luxurious mansions and wore expensive clothes adorned in expensive jewlery (as flagrantly displayed by Victoria Gotti as she narrates her point of view), but what Victoria Gotti neglected to tell her audience is how feared most everyday people were of just simply even hearing the Gotti name.

I am really not sure what the message was that Victoria Gotti was trying to convey in this supposed autobiographic Lifetime movie. I found it hard to listen to what was coming out of Victoria's mouth (oh, poor me I had no idea both my father and my husband were violent law breaking convicted criminals) because I couldn't get past that huge mop of a (dyed blonde) hairdo she was wearing that reminded me of a horse's mane.

We are left with the impression that John Gotti the father/huband was a loving man and always there for his family and especially for his daughter Victoria and that their relationship as father/daughter was special. But John Gotti the man spent the better part of his life behind bars for crimes that included cold blooded murders, so ask yourself if you could be satisfied with this type of family life if it allowed you to live a somewhat privileged lifestyle?

I never liked John Gotti because I disagreed with what he did for a living. I grew up in Queens and didn't like people worshiping a criminal. Having said that, like all mafia movies, it's fascinating to know what went on behind the curtains. Thank you Victoria for making this movie. I only wish it was a little longer with more detail such as Sammy the bull, but I guess there are time limits on Lifetime movies.

For all the haters out there, I don't think condemning this movie based on her looks or hair color is a basis for judgement. Just look at the value of someone presenting their own perspective of what life was like growing up under the Teflon Don's rules. Also, mentioning how Victoria neglected to mention how people feared her father is absurd. Did you not see the scene with the road test? Or buying groceries? Or mentioning that Victoria made it seem like he was a loving man and always there for his family? That's exactly what she was showing. He took her award and left her there, he was never home... what movie did you watch?

I really enjoyed Victoria's perspective on her family life and upbringing. She's very articulate and talented which comes through in this movie. The actors were very intuitive when it came to their role, particularly Maurice Benard (who's work I've always enjoyed) and Chelsea Frei who did a great job playing Victoria. Looking forward to future projects!!
