“#Nicole Kidman’s Lucy has last laugh<\/strong>”<\/p>\n

\n

Let\u2019s put an end to all of the kvetching and moronic social media<\/a> backlash about Nicole Kidman being cast as Lucille Ball in the new movie \u201cBeing the Ricardos.\u201d You were wrong, guys. The actress is sensational in the part \u2014 and is doing the finest work of her career.<\/p>\n

She nails the off-camera Lucy in her prime: the acidic tongue, her dream of a normal suburban home life, disdain for mediocrity and especially the unparalleled power she wielded as a woman in showbiz in the 1950s. Cross Lucy at your peril.\u00a0<\/p>\n

And it\u2019s that trait \u2014 not a prosthetic nose or a vocal impression \u2014 that\u2019s most transformative about the sterling performance. When have we ever<\/em> been afraid of and intimidated by Nicole Kidman?\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

Running time: 125 minutes. Rated R (language.) In select theaters Dec. 10; On Prime Video Dec. 21.\n <\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Ball, a fascinating subject, is also ideal fodder for writer-director Aaron Sorkin, whose movies<\/a> often delve into the minds of complex geniuses such as Mark Zuckerberg, Steve Jobs and underground poker figure Molly Bloom.<\/p>\n

Unlike those colder characters, we really do love Lucy, and there is a warmth to \u201cBeing the Ricardos\u201d that most of his previous biopics lack.\u00a0<\/p>\n

We\u2019re gripped by her offscreen marital and career struggles. It\u2019s deeply relatable when she questions her husband Desi Arnaz\u2019s (Javier Bardem) fidelity and infuriating when a studio exec tells her she\u2019s not hot enough for the screen and suggests radio instead. Ball, not one to be kept down, then turns that desperate voice gig into the most iconic sit-com of all time.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
