Shortly before he is to wed, millionaire John Willis is visited by Dr. Harry S. Blair, a psychiatrist who informs him that years before he was married to Nancy, John's wife-to-be, and warns him that she is mentally unbalanced.
Blair then relates the following story: After a whirlwind romance in Florida, Blair marries Nancy and starts a psychiatric practice in New York. One day, artist Norman Clyde comes to his office and tells him that an innocent man is about to be executed in Sing Sing Prison and that Nancy is the cause of his unjust incarceration. A distraught Clyde then explains himself to a curious Blair:
Three years before, Clyde meets Nancy, whose maiden name was Monks, when she enrolls in his art class. The moody Clyde soon falls in love with Nancy's honest charm and beauty. Nancy, a secretary, introduces Clyde to her boss, millionaire Andrew Bonner, and persuades Bonner to showcase Clyde's paintings at one of his private showings. To Nancy's delight, Clyde's painting, a depiction of the tragic figure Cassandra for which she modeled, wins first prize at the showing. The evening is perfect until an expensive bracelet is stolen from a guest, and Clyde later finds it in Nancy's purse. After Clyde confronts a confused Nancy about the theft, she relates the following story to explain her behavior:
As a young girl, Nancy lives with her housekeeper mother in the lavish Willis home and plays with Karen, the Willises' little daughter. Although Karen wants to invite Nancy to her upcoming birthday party, Mrs. Willis refuses to allow the lower-class Nancy to attend. A true friend, Karen promises to give Nancy one of the pins her guests are receiving. When Karen realizes there are no extra pins, however, she offers Nancy the beautiful locket she has just received from her mother. Nancy's subsequent joy is soon crushed when Mrs. Willis demands that she return the locket. Later, the locket is discovered missing, and Nancy is accused of theft. Although Nancy's mother soon finds the locket in Karen's dress, Mrs. Willis refuses to believe Nancy and forces her to "confess."
The adult Nancy then admits to Clyde that this childhood humiliation caused her unconscious desire to steal the bracelet at the party. After a forgiving Clyde returns the bracelet anonymously, he and Nancy continue their romance until the next party at the Bonners'. Suspecting that the absent Nancy is spending the evening in Bonner's arms, Clyde leaves the party to look for her and sees her exiting Mrs. Bonner's bedroom just after two gunshots are fired. Bonner is found murdered, and Mrs. Bonner's diamond necklace, stolen. Although Nancy and Clyde are questioned, valet Myron Dexter is eventually found guilty and is sentenced to die. Clyde, however, strongly suspects Nancy, but she angrily maintains her innocence and leaves for Florida.
Back in his office, Blair defends Nancy to Clyde but invites him to his house that evening. When confronted, Nancy denies everything and tells Blair that Clyde is merely jealous. The next day, Dexter is executed, and a guilt-ridden Clyde jumps from Blair's office window to his death.
To avoid scandal, Blair and Nancy move to England, and after World War II breaks out, Blair volunteers his medical services, while Nancy becomes an ambulance driver. Expressing concern over Blair's health, Nancy insists that they take a vacation at Lord and Lady Wyndham's manor house. Just as they are leaving, Blair learns that one of Lady Wyndham's valuable jewels has been stolen. Blair suspects Nancy but is unable to prove anything until a bomb destroys their flat and reveals her cache of stolen jewels.
Although confronted directly, Nancy continues to deny any guilt and divorces Blair after he suffers a nervous breakdown. Back in John's study, Blair, like Clyde before him, tries to convince John to abandon Nancy, who now uses the name Patton. John, however, believes Nancy when she tells him that Blair is still suffering from his breakdown.
Moments before the wedding is to start, Nancy's future mother-in-law, the unsuspecting Mrs. Willis, gives her the same locket that she once took away, and tells her that it is a precious family heirloom. The locket causes Nancy to be overcome with guilt, and she collapses at the altar in hysterics. As Nancy is later taken away to an institution, John sadly realizes the truth of Blair's story, but determines to see Nancy through her crisis.
还不错的节奏，艾伦索金的剧本功力以及妮可基德曼和男主的演技支撑起了2个多小时的家庭故事。虽然很多国外Lucille ball 的粉丝吐槽人物的刻画并不准确，但这并不影响我对这部电影的观感，影片里的Lucille Ball 坚定，勇敢，执着，戏里戏外气场强大无比，本片也可以作为一部女性主义的片子欣赏，妮可基德曼则有机会获取本届奥斯卡最佳女主！
有清晰逻辑真的很重要，这也是片中露西尔经常强调的。逻辑如游蛇穿过一层层套娃下来，从大的麦卡锡主义风暴套创作理念，商业考量，性别博弈，婚姻危机……再套到人的本真情绪，戏中戏，又片中戏外无限都散逸了出去。就是剧情有点臃肿，再简练点就好了。盯着妮可我流演露西尔，不知道妮可自己是不是总有一天会有人扮演她并拍出她和汤姆克鲁斯的故事……
从过于跳脱的情节编排和一众人伶牙俐齿的攻讦里，争斗、偏执、痴狂、坚守，粗看是为了这个剧，实则还是延续那个爱人与家的梦，哪怕只是在这方舞台上；最终危机化解、观众欢欣，戏照原样演了下去；现实中Lucille和她的Desi最终也没能变成the Ricardos，只剩唏嘘。
越来越多的传记片只能靠演员的表演撑着看下去
"Lucy,I'm home"后的忘词，争取来的开头在丈夫出轨面前已经不那么重要了
19年前妮可靠《时时刻刻》封后，那是值得被记住一部电影。而19年后的今天，她要靠一直以来都给劳模姐演的角色封后了，而且是在一部平庸之作里。最大的问题是剧本，就事论事，完全没有做到以点带面。虽然一直以来的野心都是书写“美国故事”，但是呈现出来的效果是被夫妻关系困住了，完成了一部规定动作。导演自己大概永远不愿意承认自己的生涯巅峰就是社交网络了。
太无聊了吧，叽叽喳喳零碎不堪，看似以天为单位的推进剧情，其实节奏和内容每天都一样。而且我也不喜欢妮可基德曼的表演，比起同类型同样提名了奥斯卡女主角的劳模姐，个人觉得妮可输了。不停的快进，然后怀疑自己后进了，怎么还是一样的情节和场景。全片都是美式娱乐圈上流社会的那种端着劲儿的表达，看的让人觉得乏味又可笑。我现在觉得美国这种大导演其实很多都进入了一个桎梏和瓶颈，已经玩不出什么新花样了。
D— / 在「七君子」中索金满溢的情绪和配合着粗暴但有效的剪辑，达到了超出其本身导演能力的表达效果，而今剪辑仍保持着某种节奏进行，却陷入混乱而自说自话的表达中。观感和「曼克」无异。
8/10.
基德曼的脸是怎么了，胖了？肿了？还是特效了？怎么那么不自然，像另外一个人。剧情硬塞一大堆元素，然后全用对白表达出来。比《芝加哥七君子审判》差太多，故事性也不行。60岁的艾伦·索金还是应该找个更好的本子。最近怎么这么多即话唠又催眠的美片。4
差不多得了，漂亮台词逐渐取代了剧情，取代了剪辑，取代了电影，最终艾伦索金就变成了一个只会写漂亮台词的ai

好啰嗦，好无聊...legend ma发挥偶尔精彩
全靠Nicole一个人挑大梁，剧情稀碎，很容易就走神了，全程不能投入进去。
大编剧导演还是比《贝尔法斯特》的那位大明星导演拍的好，可惜略显单一的调度思路让片子越看越乏味，最后连人物一张嘴都千篇一律了。
完全没有看过传记对象及剧集，没有啥触动，只觉得技术上处理得比较巧妙，剧里剧外现实、拍摄和旧影片穿插互相铺垫推进，表演自然是好的
这部平庸的传记片，要不是最后的结尾太出色，我就直接打个两星了。把所有事情聚集到一周来讲，这密密麻麻的台词量和各种闪回剪辑，还真是标志性的艾伦索金，但即使如此，也掩盖不了本片大部分时间的无趣，而妮可无法用化妆技术遮盖的年岁，又让本片时间线变得相当混乱，难以理解（每次起码要听几句才知道闪回了）。还能拿出来说的，当然就只能是妮可的双重表演了，最后的卡壳时刻就是她的【奥斯卡时间】了——不过相比于此，我觉得男主角的演出更加魅力四射。
Lucy，一个50年代美国肥皂剧中的傻白甜中产阶级家庭主妇；
一览电视出现之初情景喜剧的制作流程，除此之外不懂，独立强大气场的女性？好莱坞对共产党的清算？20世纪初的好莱坞时代剧？都不是很着调呢，就在索金的絮絮叨叨里给絮飘了。
但太凌乱导致很冗长，观看途中停了3次
