Being the Ricardos

Screenshot from Being the ricardos

Where: Amazon Prime
What: Movie, 131 mins.
When: Now
Genre: Docu-drama
Why you should watch: Nicole Kidman will probably pick up an Oscar nomination for her convincing performance as comedy queen Lucille Ball and Javier Bardem is convincing as Desi Arnaz in this fast-paced and slick docu-drama featuring classic crispness of writer and director Aaron Sorkin. It’s an action-packed week in the life of one of Hollywood’s most successful power couples as Ball fights misogyny and Arnaz deals with racism — with some red baiting on th side. A strong cast that includes J. K. Simmons as William Frawley — Fred Mertz — helps create a film worthy of the buzz it will receive during Oscar season.
