Babygirl starring Nicole Kidman released first trailer

A24 delivers on its promise: the Babygirl trailer is here. This erotic drama stars Nicole Kidman, Antonio Banderas, and Harris Dickinson and tells the story of Romy, a successful executive who begins a secret affair with her young intern. Romy will reverse her typical work role, shifting from being the one in charge to enjoying being submissive in bed. This torrid extramarital affair will allow her to discover her sexual freedom… despite the risks and prejudices. Halina Reijn wrote and directed this film that delves into the limits of sexuality and power. It will hit US theaters on December 24th.

The trailer showcases the connection between Kidman and Dickinson that critics have already highlighted in early festival screenings; it is no wonder they have elevated the level of sensuality and frenzy, as the preview successfully encapsulates Romy's (Kidman) journey with her young affair (Dickinson), who seems to take full control of a relationship that remains tense due to everything at stake. Babygirl official synopsys reads: Romy, a successful executive, begins a secret affair with her young intern, despite the risks and prejudices, and behind her husband's back.

Critics have both praised and criticized the film. On the positive side, they highlight the film's passionate portrayal of romance, honest depiction of sexuality and desire, and its playfully dark tone. However, others have criticized its convoluted plot, certain politically correct themes, and its lack of a conclusive ending, arguing that it touches on too many subjects without delving deep into any of them, Variety reports. On the other hand, other cast members include Sophie Wilde, Esther McGregor, Gaite Jansen as well as Victor Slezak and Mary Ann Lamb.
