Being the Ricardos (2021 Aaron Sorkin & scr)

A tricky week in the lives of Lucy and Desi, with flashbacks, played by Nicole Kidman and Javier Bardem (who seems to be doing his own singing). They're good. The bloody HUAC are at it again, the evil Committee for Destruction. Enjoyable film, framed by 'people who were there' (not really).

Of course it's talky - it's Sorkin.

With Nina Arianda (Midnight in Paris, Stan and Ollie, Billions), JK Simmons, Tony Hale (the producer, Veep), Alia Shawkat & Jake Lacy (the writers, he in The White Lotus, Fosse / Verdun, Their Finest, Girls), Clark Gregg. Photographed by Jeff Cronenweth, edited by Alan Baumgarten, music Daniel Pemberton, production design Jon Hutman. The children, Luci and Desi Jr., are exec producers. Made for Amazon Studios.
