The biopic “Being The Ricardos”, with Nicole Kidman and Javier Bardem, is now available on the Amazon Prime Video platform.
The plot follows Lucille Ball and Desi Arnaz, who married in 1940 and saw their fame take off after making their debut in one of America’s most memorable sitcoms titled “I Love Lucy”. However, while everything seems to be going well, the two are embroiled in a web of shocking accusations that threaten their personal and professional lives. During the most tense week of recording, their complex relationship will be put to the test as certain truths come to light.
The film is directed by Oscar winner Aaron Sorkin (“The Social Network”, “The Chicago 7”).
