Nicole Kidman’s Sexy, Sweaty ‘Babygirl’ Makes Venice Climax to 6.5-Minute Standing Ovation


Nicole Kidman earned a standing ovation at the Venice Film Festival at the premiere of A24's erotic drama 'Babygirl' alongside Harris Dickinson.

The buzzy A24 title — bowing in competition at Venice — sees Kidman star as a high-powered CEO who puts her career and family on the line when she begins a torrid affair with her much younger intern (played by Harris Dickinson). “All of us carry a little black box filled with taboo fantasies that we might never share with anyone,” said Reijn in the press notes for “Babygirl.” “I am fascinated by the duality of human nature, and this film is an attempt to shine a light, without judgement, on the opposing forces that make up our personalities. At the 2004 edition she starred in Jonathan Glazer’s unsettling psychological drama “Birth,” which sparked controversy — and boos at the festival — over a scene in which she shared a bath with her 10-year-old co-star Cameron Bright.
