There's absolutely nothing wrong with Nicole Kidman's performance. Even Lucille's own daughter said people shouldn't look for an impersonation of her mom's TV character. And the shows scenes amount to 10% of the movie. So the complaints are stupid. I thought Bardem is the one deserving of awards.

[Amazon] Sorkin gets a biopic concentrating on a single week, and talking about topics like sexism and blacklists, but also the talent and charm of an era. He has, as usual, some remarkable dialogue and a less inspired direction, but above all an extraordinary work by Nicole Kidman, well supported by a charming Javier Bardem and the excellent cast. The ineffectiveness of the documentary style scenes is made up by the fascinating recreation of the comic inspiration of Lucille Ball, uncredited director.

this is a hot mess man and nicole kidman is NOT lucille ball

I find it hard to take any of post-Botox Nicole Kidman’s work seriously. This is no exception. To be fair, I didn’t know who Lucille Ball was until I started watching the movie. This movie failed to get me interested in Lucille Ball’s life either. I l stopped watching after 30 minutes.

Bardem steels the show. My main issues was Aaron Sorkin took to many story telling liberties which I don’t like if your telling a true story still worth a look
