Love Again (2023)
Celine is the best part!
This is cute and very predictable. I wish they had just set the movie in London because the nearly full British cast and locations pretending to be New York is very distracting. I just don't understand why they couldn't let everyone have their regular accents and maybe it would have relaxed and fit into itself. The pacing is slow in places. I found myself waiting for the inevitable next beat to happen. Even fast forwarded a couple of times. But that being said Celine Dion saved this very average movie and gave it charm. Her being herself was quite funny and grounding. I wish somehow that the writing and mostly the directing had met her charm.
Being the Ricardos (2021)
It's ...fine
I love Nicole Kidman and Javier Bardem but they are in no way Lucy and Desi. Its at times painful to watch Kidman "act" as Lucy in the B&W sequences. As Lucille Ball she is fine but as Lucy she is just, not. Bardem is also a wonderful actor but is not the charismatic Arnaz. JK Simons and Nina Arianda are great as Bill and Vivian and great as Fred and Ethel.
