The Year in Review- 2021

Will Smith may have singlehandedly saved the Oscars. Slapping controversy aside(he clearly shouldn't have done it),
Tobey Maguire
deaf
Nicole Kidman and Javier Bardem were both fantastic as Lucille Ball and Desi Arnaz, the immortal couple that invented the sitcom format with their 1950s TV institution "I Love Lucy". Some online fans mistakenly thought that the Oscar-nominated duo couldn't play these roles. Writer-director Aaron Sorkin pares his 1953-set story down to three things- Ball's alleged brush with communism, the weekly stresses of the show's production, and of course, the pair's stormy marriage that would ultimately lead to divorce in 1960. J.K. Simmons is equally well-cast as classic curmudgeon William Frawley/Fred Mertz.
Jessica Chastain and Andrew Garfield are both great.
