Being the Ricardos (2021)
I tried - I really did.
So - elephant in the room.
The way nicole looks in this is distracting. There is no ifs, ands, or buts about it but the way she looks is not the problem. How boring this is is.
I am british and I know very little ablout Lucille Ball. (I think the first time I experienced any idea of her legend was in the movie "rat race". I think she isn't that well known internationally.
This is a problem. This will probably do better in the US because of this.
But I have seen biopics about people I know little about before and they have done a good job of telling me about who they are all the while entertaining me.
This is a slog and a half and I dont believe I know anything more than I knew before.
The acting is ok.
The writing is ok ish
The direction is clean (although as ive said, some choices are extremely distracting
I can say I watched it but Ive learned nothing from doing so. And if you actually know/like Lucille Ball - this is probably going to fall even shorter still.
The 355 (2022)
Bad and boring.
I went into this thinking it would be somewhat like the female version of oceans 11 (which I did enjoy - it was cute and fun)
It is. (Because it is female lead)
Except it boring. (Which oceans 11 wasn't)
There is nothing original about it. The twists and turns are PREDICTABLE. The acting, completely phoned in. I've seen kindergarteners giving better performances. (I know there are multiple oscar winners in this but damn are they looking like they should be returned) The cinematography is meh. The sound/score is meh. The story is meh.
If meh was a film this would be it.
I cant believe I paid to see this and honestly I dont know why I did.
I am a woman. So i dont want to be accused of review bombing *because* women...
Do NOT waste your time with this movie.
