Nicole Kidman Says Making Halina Reijn’s Erotic Thriller ‘Babygirl’ Was “Very Freeing” – Venice Film Festival


Nicole Kidman told reporters at the Venice Film Festival that making erotic thriller Babygirl with writer-director Halina Reijn was “very freeing”

The story centers on Kidman’s high-powered CEO who puts her life’s work on the line when she begins a torrid affair with her much-younger intern (Dickinson). Still, Reijn added that women’s relationships with their bodies was “exactly why” she wanted to make this movie, and show that “the huuuuge orgasm gap still exists,” she said, quipping, “Take note, men.” Dickinson gave a shout out to the film’s intimacy coordinator who “broke the unnecessary barrier around what you have to do… Ultimately, it’s choreography… It’s really nerve-wracking constructing a scene anyway, so if you add something intimate to it, it’s very vulnerable.”
