Halina Reijn emphasized the need to normalize age gap relationships in film: "If we see a movie where the male actor is the same age as the female actor, we find that odd. Which is insane; it should completely be normalized that the age gaps switch and that women have different relationships." This highlights the biases in how relationships are portrayed and perceived in cinema.
Reijn discussed the complexity of sexuality in her film "Babygirl": "Sexuality is stop-and-go. It's never like a glamour scene from a Hollywood movie in the '90s. That's just not how it works." This reflects her intention to depict a more realistic portrayal of intimate relationships.
Speaking about women's representation, Kidman remarked, "a lot of times women are discarded at a certain period of their career as a sexual being, so it was really beautiful to be seen in this way." This underscores the ongoing issues of ageism and women's visibility in the film industry.
