Babygirl Just Isn’t An Erotic Thriller


The film about a female CEO cheating with a male intern is less scintillating and more a chilly, half-formed women’s picture.

I genuinely believe healing and understanding can be found within romance and great sex; you can’t self-love yourself into breaking the noxious patterns that guide your relationships, and a sense of personal desire often comes into view in sexual experiences with other people. The impulse toward sexual submissiveness is understandable — it’s a position, I imagine, is more common, regardless of gender, in an era of information overload, when you have to make taxing decisions multiple times a day, and to be lifted of that responsibility is freeing. The suggestion that Romy could lose everything at any moment is reaffirmed by Samuel’s dialogue and a pointed conversation with an older male power player in her company who makes allusions to knowing what happened with her (now former) intern near the end of the film.
