Nicole Kidman stars as Romy, the CEO of a large company, who succumbs to her sexual desires in A24’s official trailer for Babygirl, an upcoming erotic thriller directed by Halina Reijn. Alongside the leading lady, Harris Dickinson plays Samuel, one of Romy’s interns who soon gains power over her and begins manipulating her.
Babygirl received a spectacular critical response at this year’s Venice Film Festival, currently holding a ‘fresh’ score of 95% on Rotten Tomatoes. Critics praised Kidman’s portrayal of Romy and her ability to flawlessly capture the character’s psychological vulnerabilities.
We see the intern Samuel forcing his boss, Romy, to do all sorts of strange and perverted things to maintain their “relationship.” At one point, Romy is shown chugging a glass of milk at a bar as part of her deal with Samuel.
Babygirl demonstrates that powerful women can also become victims of sexual harassment. However, Romy is not without her faults. Under the pressure of being a successful woman and mother, she often indulges in the “freedom” of behaving badly. But things soon spiral out of control, leading to a chaotic situation that could also harm her loved ones.
Led by Nicole Kidman and Harris Dickinson, the film also stars Antonio Banderas, Sophie Wilde, Gaite Jansen, Izabel Mar, and many more talents.
A24’s Babygirl is set to make waves this Christmas, hitting theaters on December 25. Stay tuned for more updates, and check out the trailer below!
