‘Babygirl’ Review: Nicole Kidman Is A Woman On The Verge In Halina Reijn’s Sexually Charged S&M Story – Venice Film Festival
Nicole Kidman stars in Babygirl, a sexually charged movie that features extraordinary atmosphere created by director Halina Reijn.
Her experiences working as an actor for Paul Verhoeven (on 2006’s Black Books) clearly rubbed off, since her third feature owes a small debt to his controversial revenge thriller Elle, which raised a similarly provocative debate about male aggression and female sexuality. Samuel (Harris Dickinson), whose name will be withheld for quite some time, fascinates Romy, from the moment he insults her with a sarcastic question about her fondness for altruistic mission statements (“Do you really mean that, or is the kind of thing you say to make people like robots?”). Title: Babygirl Festival: Venice(Competition) Distributor: A24 Director-screenwriter: Halina Reijn Cast: Nicole Kidman, Harris Dickinson, Antonio Banderas, Sophie Wilde, Esther McGregor Running time: 1 hr 54 mins
