Babygirl

"Babygirl (2024) - ★½ A24’s Babygirl is an infuriating letdown that assaults you from the jump—sex sounds over the A24 logo? Wildly off-putting. Nicole Kidman’s Romy, a CEO cheating on her husband, Jacob (Antonio Banderas), with a cocky intern, Samuel (Harris Dickinson), is a trainwreck I couldn’t root for. Seeing Banderas, always the suave hero, cuckolded by some white kid half his age? Drake voice “Embarrassing “. Both leads are despicable, the soft-P***vibes are cringe, and some scenes were so awkward I nearly bolted. Kidman’s gutsy at 56, but why this role? This was painful to sit through, and I’m still asking, “What the hell did I watch?” One star for her commitment, half for the sheer nerve."

"I was always a huge fan of Nicole Kidman and still find her acting superb, her movies were strong with a plot and a story to them - what happened all of a sudden?? after her weak show ExPats and this absolute ridiculous movie, I think she needs to reconsider taking on any movies for a while. "

"I don't like milk but I would drink milk for Samuel 100 % Is there any role any ******* performance where nicole Kidman doesn't kill it I think this may be a top if not my my favorite A24 film I am aware how disturbed I am 🤣"

"7/10 I think the awkwardness of the characters makes the whole thing more human, emphasizes that it isn't just a pwp fanfic (though there wasn't much real plot until the last 25 minutes or so). Overall I did like the movie and I'll certainly enjoy the fanfics it inspires though I truly think this may be a one time watch movie."

"Bringing The Secretary into the 21st century. The generational aspect was unexpectedly refreshing. 7.5 our of 10"

"Nicole Kidman is a great actress but I’m actually surprised she filmed this garbage. It’s pure cringe. She’s not hard up for films or shows so WTH is this?"

"WOW! so much better than 50 Shades of Grey. The soundtrack deserves an Oscar nomination."

"Psych kids will enjoy themes of intimacy, power, and kink. #eroticthriller #agegap #strongwoman"

"Babygirl (2024), directed by Halina Reijn, is a compelling erotic thriller that delves into the intricate dynamics of power, desire, and self-discovery. Nicole Kidman delivers a standout performance as Romy Mathis, a high-powered tech CEO who embarks on a transformative journey that challenges her personal and professional boundaries. The narrative is both provocative and thought-provoking, offering a nuanced portrayal of a woman's quest for fulfillment beyond societal expectations. Kidman's portrayal of Romy is both fearless and nuanced, capturing the complexities of a character navigating uncharted emotional territories. The film's exploration of themes such as control, vulnerability, and the pursuit of authentic connection is both timely and resonant. Halina Reijn's direction brings a sharp and insightful perspective to the story, balancing moments of tension with introspective depth. The supporting cast, including Harris Dickinson and Antonio Banderas, provide strong performances that complement Kidman's lead role. Babygirl is a bold cinematic experience that challenges viewers to reflect on the complexities of human desire and the often-blurred lines between power and vulnerability. It's a film that lingers in the mind, prompting discussions about identity, autonomy, and the lengths one will go to find personal satisfaction. "
