Nicole Kidman and Harris Dickinson (Triangle of Sadness) embark on a steamy May-December affair in A24’s Babygirl.
Directed by Halina Reijn (Bodies Bodies Bodies), Babygirl introduces us to high-powered CEO Romy Mathis (Kidman, who won the Venice Film Festival’s Volpi cup for her performance). While she dominates the business world, she also has a secret desire to be dominated herself. Enter intern Samuel (Dickinson), who is willing and ready to help Romy explore her fantasies. As Babygirl‘s latest trailer shows us, the resulting BDSM relationship is equal parts sexy and sweet, with the two finding not just pleasure with each other, but also the comfort to explore.
If you’re still not convinced by the trailer, give the critics a listen. As Mashable Entertainment Editor Kristy Puchko wrote in her review, “Emotionally naked, unapologetically provocative, and defiantly playful, Reijn’s film joyfully explores the complicated ties that bind. Amid stiff competition, she delivers one of the sexiest, most thrilling films of the year.”
Babygirl hits theaters Dec. 25.
