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

Being the Ricardos | Reviews
Between the bitching and backstage dramas (and many Sorkin-isms), Aaron Sorkin has some serious points to make in his true-ish account of 1950s sitcom stars Lucille Ball (Nicole Kidman) and Desi Arnaz (Javier Bardem).
