The Anti-Everywoman
Briefly

Nicole Kidman's character, Romy, experiences a striking moment of desire that is humorously off-kilter, emphasizing her shock rather than typical sultriness in encounters.
Kidman has transformed perceptions of her roles, showcasing her continued relevance by navigating the themes of discontented motherhood and complex femininity in her recent projects.
Instead of portraying an erotic meet-cute in the conventional way, Romy's reaction to Samuel is more about surprise, reflecting deeper emotional layers in connection to her character.
The industry has often pigeonholed actresses as wives and mothers, but Kidman's recent visibility indicates a shift in opportunities for multifaceted roles for women.
