Frustrating
24 December 2021
Lucille Ball was amazing. The show I Love Lucy was amazing. This movie is not, and it's so frustrating because not only is it about an American icon and an iconic show, the historical aspect of the communist stuff fascinating. This writing is boring and creates no dramatic tension or emotional attachment to the characters.

Nicole Kidman was not a good choice for Lucy. She is a beautiful woman but she has made certain choices regarding her appearance, and those choices include the heavy use of Botox and fillers, which consequently results in a very limited range of expressions on her face. That is the exact OPPOSITE of what made Lucy special. Lucy was one of the most expressive actors on TV. She quite literally a flexible face and used those great expressions to make us laugh.

Everything about this movie was frustrating. The sets and costumes look good though.
