Reviews
- "BEING THE RICARDOS is a fascinating look at a time in American life when a number of facades were beginning to crumble."
- Arizona Republic - "This is Sorkin squared, and the pleasure in the project is drawn from exquisitely written characters marching down studio corridors, sitting across studio boardrooms or stamping around rehearsal rooms while firing meticulously honed zingers at each other."
- Times (UK) - "Nicole Kidman and Javier Bardem lead a stellar ensemble in Aaron Sorkin's riveting depiction of television history's most famous couple."
