Directed and written by Aaron Sorkin, Being the Ricardos revolves around a distressing week of production on the set of I Love Lucy. In the film, Lucille Ball (Nicole Kidman) and Desi Arnaz (Javier Bardem) are threatened by shocking personal accusations, a political smear, and cultural taboos. Sorkin’s behind-the-scenes drama gives audiences a revealing glimpse into the couple’s complex romantic and professional relationship, taking viewers into the writers’ room, onto the soundstage, and behind closed doors. It all takes place during a critical production week of their groundbreaking sitcom.
