Being the Ricardos - Official Trailer | Prime Video
Streaming free on Amazon Prime. We watched it last night. Seems that Nice Kidman has been pretty much in charge of her own acting roles as she once again is Executive Producer as she portrays Lucille Ball. It was an interesting story and told many things of which I was unaware. As always the make up and costuming were big factors in the believability of this 2 hour and 15 minute movie. Having said that the star in this film was Javier Bardem who I thought played the role of Desi perfectly. His accent was right on but more than anything he actually can sing and play the bongo drum. Also J K Simmons plays Willliam Frawley and his characterization was also very good.
Even though the movie was long it dwelled on Lucy being pregnant with Little Ricky and how Ricky wanted the season to be about Lucy having a baby. Their sponsor Philip Morris finally agreed and that was the end of it as her children played no part in this film
Nicole Kidman looked stone faced and out of character as she tried to portray Lucy
Another enjoyable but not great movie
