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.
勉强3星，叙事过于碎片化，想表达的内容太满而显得凌乱，片尾能稍好一点。
其实Aaron Sorkin的功力还是摆在那里的，只是这个故事的主题和线索过于纷繁杂乱，多少令观众有些疲于应付了。所以很多戏拆开来单独看，都足够精彩，但是组合在一起的效果反而并不理想。而且，这么一个情感危机的故事框架，无法同时承载那么多硕大的主题，这个或许才是最关键的问题。
太长了就是说，如数家珍般地讲述了拍摄《我爱露西》台前幕后的一大堆琐事，一些奥斯卡经典话题（假）：女性觉醒、政治～共产党和麦卡锡主义等等。真正的话题只有两个：工作和家庭的一地鸡毛。故事的最后，男主成功挽救了女主的事业～并且完美推动了表演的成功，然而最后的最后却以女主发现了男主出轨告终。于是婚姻本身成为了利益和生意的一部分，“Let's do the show.”
這是在曾經觀看過無數次《我愛露西》歡笑的回憶裡最好的精神安慰。
妮可的面部表情僵硬，看着难受。唯一能看的就服化道美的制作水准，4K资源的画面质感很棒，煎熬30分钟之后，以1.5倍速继续煎熬看完，估计不是干这行或者想入行的看不进去，艾伦·索金以编剧转导演是要彻底断自己编剧财路的节奏。 2022·1·10 6.3/1K 短评418 （ %31/49/20）
剪辑有点乱，夹杂的那些回忆有点过于累赘了。但是妮可基嫚的表演是蛮惊喜的。
5/10。故事一般，摄影还行，对白多得让人晕眩，同时也削弱了影片的视听语言。此外，实在不喜欢影片的叙述方式，既然引入了旁观者的采访，就应当与里卡多夫妇的主视角的叙述内容形成互补或偏差，或者其他化学反应，但影片里看起来十分割裂。
和《House of Gucci》有很多类似的地方，都是婚姻和事业交织的关系，都是控制欲强的女主，都是一个过去的辉煌，女主演都贡献了怕是生涯中最佳演技，但是这片子明显就处理的好得多。首先时间上只聚焦一星期的时间，从Lucy被红色恐怖指控到公演的一周，把各种矛盾都通过这一周表现出来，而不是流水账般的从头说起。其次选择了Lucy事业和喜剧上钻研的这条线，婚姻这条线相对弱化了很多，叙事有重点。而且插叙倒叙真的有作用，随着看补全了很多信息。Lucy这个人太有人格魅力了，又self-driven，又有才华，又有谋略，又看得开放得下，就算不喜欢她也不得不敬佩她。另外女配和女编剧也是一起塑造了本片关于女性的主题。Nicole Kidman虽不完全像Lucy，还是塑造了这个非常自然真挚的形象，有望Oscar
传记片在索金手下就还是传记片，其实可以用喜剧的元素突破呀，亦或是事件带人物，因为毕竟传记本身人物就很鲜明且令人熟悉。女主演的好卖力……
食之无味，弃之可惜。艾伦索金在立项的时候真的觉得除了沉浸在旧时光走不出来的业内人士之外，有人会对这个故事有兴趣吗？即便再工整的放大情感也显得很无趣啊，就像丈夫完美的解决社会舆论后仍被妻子发现了两个口红印一样的稀松平常。
一百分钟的电影。。。不亚于 我听了一百分钟 指甲滑黑板的声音
这什么啊，看不懂，换一个导演来拍可能会好一点，以后艾伦索金的片子一律拉黑，妮可基德曼的脸太吓人了，超级绷，感觉是个塑料人，几乎做不出表情了
剧作上依然有趣。但总有种索金个人风格中过于重复的东西萦绕在电影中，让影片缺少了些新意。
基德曼有一种既有演技又演得不像的诡异感觉。/ It’s just a female perspective from another generation.
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
前面冗长无聊，最后的高潮十分感动。妮可不是最合适的人选，但她撑住了。
针妮儿 演的很拼 全程在线 今年年底好激烈!!!
唱歌的巴登叔♪( ´▽｀)嘿嘿还挺好听的。绝妙的西班牙口音爱死我了！
论直男学会辨别口红色号的重要性。Aaron Sorkin给出了一如既往的高手对话，人物和戏都在对话的机锋中
