Lucy and Desi, the documentary, managed to do what I thought was missing in the Aaron Sorkin film Being the Ricardos: actually tell me more about these two Hollywood icons. The Ricardos movie kind of covered things that I, not … Continue reading
I didn’t know much about this film going in… just that it has great ratings, a lot of people seem to be watching it, and that’s it’s a French comedy. But something got lost in expectations… it’s not French, for … Continue reading
