Nicole Kidman stars in 'Babygirl', a film exploring themes of power dynamics, control, and repressed sexuality. The film focuses on Romy, a successful CEO who seeks a submissive relationship with a younger intern.
Leave the kids home for this erotic spellbinder starring Nicole Kidman like you've never seen her before as a lady boss, inching toward 60, who abuses her position and risks career suicide for a fling with a 20-ish intern, played by hottie Harris Dickinson ('Triangle of Sadness'). Is it love? Hardly. 'Babygirl,' now on sizzle mode in theaters, isn't about age differences. When you look like Kidman and Dickinson, no one is counting birthdays. Gorgeous trumps appropriate every time.
Except neither party is strictly in it for the sex. Control is the turn on. Let me explain. Kidman plays Romy Mathis, the demanding CEO of a Manhattan robotics company who longs to be subservient. This married mother of two teen daughters (Esther McGregor and Vaughan Reilly) later tells her theater director husband Jacob (a magnetic Antonio Banderas) of her desire to be dominated, but he's not into role-playing.As luck would have it, intern Samuel (Dickinson) definitely is. He quickly intuits (I won't say how) what Romy needs.He starts small by ordering her to drink milk instead of coffee, then demands she get on her knees. Like a puppy, Romy is rewarded with a cookie and called 'babygirl' when she complies.Instead of shame, Romy revels in releasing her repressed sexuality by expressing her needs, however unorthodox, to Samuel. He's into it. 'I make the rules by breaking yours,' he tells office mentor Romy with an insolent, unearned confidence she can't resist. Dickinson is mesmerizing. He and Kidman radiate a carnal vibe that singes the screen. But writer-director Halina Reijn ('Bodies Bodies Bodies') goes way deeper than a riff on 'Fifty Shades of Grey' without the whips and chains. Reijn, a former actress, joins forces with Kidman to get at the root causes of why a woman at the top like Romy would risk everything to lose control.'Babygirl' star Nicole Kidman shares advice mom gave her when she almost quit actingYet Romy persists in erecting a cosmetic barrier against perceived flaw
