[Amazon] Sorkin gets a biopic concentrating on a single week, and talking about topics like sexism and blacklists, but also the talent and charm of an era. He has, as usual, some remarkable dialogue and a less inspired direction, but above all an extraordinary work by Nicole Kidman, well supported by a charming Javier Bardem and the excellent cast. The ineffectiveness of the documentary style scenes is made up by the fascinating recreation of the comic inspiration of Lucille Ball, uncredited director.

Bardem steels the show. My main issues was Aaron Sorkin took to many story telling liberties which I don’t like if your telling a true story still worth a look

There's absolutely nothing wrong with Nicole Kidman's performance. Even Lucille's own daughter said people shouldn't look for an impersonation of her mom's TV character. And the shows scenes amount to 10% of the movie. So the complaints are stupid.
I thought Bardem is the one deserving of awards.

I find it hard to take any of post-Botox Nicole Kidman’s work seriously. This is no exception. To be fair, I didn’t know who Lucille Ball was until I started watching the movie. This movie failed to get me interested in Lucille Ball’s life either. I l stopped watching after 30 minutes.

Commenting on this film without having watched I love Lucy may cause a distant opinion. I just saw a movie about a show I have heard of and that I know it was very popular and importante for TV in the US. I liked the story and how it was presented. Nicole Kidman as Lucille Ball holds everything together and makes the audience to connect with the character. The fake interviews were a good idea but at some moments they kind of forgets they had to add them so they feel disconnected from the movie. Another thing that I disliked was the length. It could have had less minutes, without the scenes when she gets the film part which besides is confusing.

there are good elements in here, and the cast is solid, but what the fuck is happening with the music? - it’s like the score is rubbing its dick against my face and shout “PLEASE FEEL SOMETHING”

Simultaneously wants you to know a lot about "I Love Lucy" to get the specific references but also not familiar enough that you buy that absolutely no one in the cast is anything like what they were like on the show or real life.

Aside from the fact that I can think of several other actors that would have been a better choice to play Lucy, this was still quite a good and interesting movie.
I really liked how they interweaved multiple storylines into the movie. I knew that Desi and Lucy were powerful people back in the day, but had no idea what kind of a powerhouse they were together.

How I rate:
1-3 :heart: = seriously! don't waste your time
4-6 :heart: = you may or may not enjoy this
7-8 :heart: = I expect you will like this too
9-10 :heart: = movies and TV shows I really love!

Kidman is great in the role of Lucy but the movie is less I Love Lucy and more I tolerate Lucy!

I could not get past the first 10 minutes. It was horribly miscast for Desi and Lucille; I would have rather seen Jack Black play Desi, and anyone else play Lucille Ball.

If you loved I love Lucy, then Watch This!

Is a lot of fun. A great look into the day to day of filming the show. Great cast, lots of actors from the office. Maybe from arrested development.

Javier Bardem does an amazing job of being Ricky Ricardo.

Good job of portraying Lucy's strength behind the scenes. During the recreations of episodes, she DOES do a good Lucy...but she doesn't feel it necessary to keep that going "off camera." Both Nina Arianda and J.K. Simmons put in outstanding supporting work here and should be commended.
