In Being The Ricardos, Lucille Ball (Nicole Kidman) and Desi Arnaz (Javier Bardem) are threatened by shocking personal accusations, a political smear, and cultural taboos in writer and director Aaron Sorkin’s behind-the-scenes drama.
It’s a revealing glimpse into the couple’s complex romantic and professional relationship. The movie takes audiences into the writers’ room, onto the soundstage, and behind closed doors with Ball and Arnaz during one critical production week of their groundbreaking sitcom “I Love Lucy.”
