Victoria Gotti: la fille du Parrain

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?

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

This man can play a mob guy easy, with his eyes closed, or any scene/movie that is, #LoveMauriceBenard + whoever called this movie trash/horrible is either a.)jealous and or b.) a loser and that is how i feel because this movie was a good one and worthy of 7 to 10 star rating by movie/tv watcher's etc.,al.,

Loved it! LOVE Maurice Benard as #johngotti...

i love his portrayal as the infamous handsome, (never to snitch)on anyone, John Gotti. RIP I am seeing parts of John Gotti, i never would've known. He was truly in his own way a great dad, wonderful father to his little girl, and a real family man. IMO(in my opinion) as Victoria says, "When not with his other family." (the streets)i gather. - The actress starring as VICTORIA GOTTI was ok in it, i give her a solid seven, the younger little girl was perfect, so realistic too!(i give her an eight.

But the real one is much more cooler and i always liked and was fascinated by the entire JOHN GOTTI family, and glad to see the daughter is fine in life,and her family. I didn't know JOHN calls his wife, or used to call her, "butch." - The tall lovely woman who played gotti wife, was lovely in the movie, and a real natural(actress) in it. She was good in it.

The DOMESTIC violence scenes were so realistic,and i was sad watching it, as i envision poor victoria going through it, and i am happy to learn she is no longer with him, with CARMINE. -

Angel(the older sibling)was good in this too. Entire movie was great! Well done Victoria. Well done,LIFETIME. True stories are the best since you made Betty Broderick true story part 1 and the conclusion...

"You only get so many tears in life." Don't waste em all up, says John to his precious daughter, Victoria."

My father says similar to me since born in 1970s. and my younger brother born late 80s. Thank you for making this true story, and i will be re-watching many times, over and over." A story i believe as many needed to be told." In summary, i gave actors a solid eight to nine actually, who starred as the parents of Vic... i shall rate the movie as a whole, premised on true story etc., a solid 10...

Horrible acting and funny how this idiot daughter blubbers over an murdering piece of feces. They make special places in hell for idiots like this. This was even worse then the John Gotti Movie. Lol..simply horrible

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!!
