Being the Ricardos

"Weirdly uphill work, for all that it is ingeniously structured and vehemently performed."

"This film’s version of the sitcom legend is a mouthpiece for (Sorkin's) brand of smarmy, know-it-all sarcasm..."

"It’s hard to stand out when a movie is so over-directed as Being the Ricardos, but Kidman does just that."

"Some classic Sorkin’ and talkin’ brings energy to proceedings... but Being the Ricardos falls apart in (the) third act..."

"(An) oddly flat biographical drama..."

"Being the Ricardos feels like a project Sorkin has shaped to fit his interests..."

"(It's) very much a heady helping of Sorkinese — and a beautiful illustration of what can be intoxicating about it."

"(Kidman) is sensational in the part — and is doing the finest work of her career."

"The bottom line on Being the Ricardos is that it’s irresistible."

"Even if you don’t love Lucy, there’s plenty to love about this."
