If recent memory serves, it’s tough to put a play onscreen without it feeling like a play onscreen. “National Champions” (directed by Ric Roman Waugh) Fans of best-selling author Sally Thorne, who burst onto the romance scene with the 2016 novel on which Hutchings’ film is based, will certainly know what to expect from the feature version, but film fans will likely be delighted by a rom-com that dares to be - gasp! - genuinely sexy. There is indeed a thin line between love and hate, and as Peter Hutchings’ crackling “The Hating Game” opens, Lucy and Josh are inches from demolishing that line forever. The one constant: its players, Lucy (Lucy Hale) and Josh (Austin Stowell), dueling assistants at a publishing house who not only seem incapable of seeing eye to eye, but of very often getting damn close to actually punching out said eyes. The rules of the hating game are not set, they are constantly in flux, changing to suit rapidly conditions.

Read IndieWire’s full review.Īnd yet, for all of the truth contained in that wisdom, certain films make it almost impossible to shake the feeling that cinema - the most palpably fourth-dimensional of all popular art forms - possesses an unrivaled ability to make us appreciate how we can waste it. Sorkin and Lucy and Desi? It’s a strange pairing even in theory, and still worse in practice, as Sorkin’s oddly flat biographical drama “Being the Ricardos” offers up some of the least interesting appraisals of not just Lucy and Desi, but of Sorkin himself, plus his stars Nicole Kidman and Javier Bardem. Sorkin certainly isn’t a stranger to comedy, but his interests - snappy dialogue, twists of fate, jokes about celebs - don’t exactly intersect with the enduring charm of Lucille Ball and Desi Arnaz’s seminal ’50s-era sitcom. In retrospect, writer and director Aaron Sorkin’s baffling admission that he doesn’t necessarily think “I Love Lucy” would be considered “funny” today should have caused an even larger fervor than it did (read: a small fervor, at least in social media circles).
