Being the Ricardos

I found this film dull, anachronistic and out and out pointless. Firstly, the casting is terrible with Nicole Kidman trying to play a comedic giant????? Her husband in the film looked more like Ricky Ricardo's father and lacked the swagger to pull off a Cuban bandleader. Lastly, anyone old enough to be interested in Lucy's history, would cringe at the 2021 language used. Profanity does not make a movie edgy...just profane. For me, the movie was a boring waste of time.

Of all the brilliant actors in the world, why choose the worse 'actor' to play the most wonderful, beautiful, talented actor, Lucille Ball. Lucille was funny, Kidman is NOT. Lucille could act, Kidman can NOT. Such a huge shame you ruined Lucille's past. I just hope someone else will remake this film, and choose a real actor.

I loved the series and I appreciate the fine work of Nicole Kidman and Javier Bardem. The accuracy can be only a detail in this chronicle of the US TV shows history and, I admitt , I do not know very much about the life of the main characters. But I am satisfied by the ball of stories used by director Aaron Sorkin for creating a realistic portrait of a period. This is the basic virtue of this film - to give a large picture of a time , in its precise details and rich significances. The bad detail - the horrible make up of Nicole Kidman , giving impression of plastic face. Like many biopics , a hommage to an epoque. Intense effort, good acting, nice reconstruction of series scenes and a decent manner to reflect the story of a not just ordinary couple.
