‘Babygirl’ Director Says Milk Scene Really Happened to Her: ‘Famous’ Belgian Actor Sent Her a Glass at a Bar and ‘He Was at Least 15 Years Younger’


"Babygirl" director Halina Reijn was given a glass of milk to drink by a famous Belgian actor who was 15 years younger.

One of the standout moments in Halina Reijn ‘s erotic thriller “ Babygirl ” finds Nicole Kidman ‘s Romy being sent a glass of milk from the young intern she’s having an affair with while they’re separately at the same bar. “Reijn’s shrewdly honest and enveloping drama about a sadomasochistic affair is really, beneath its kinks (which are plenty sexy and entertaining), a portrait of a society that’s overly in thrall to the god of control,” Gleiberman writes. And the spark plug of Kidman’s indelible performance is that she plays this sick recklessness as something fully human: the expression of a woman too compartmentalized to put the different parts of herself together.”
