The film Babygirl features a controversial relationship between corporate CEO Romy and intern Samuel, showcasing elements of BDSM through erotic encounters. Director Halina Reijn subverts traditional erotic thriller tropes by avoiding moral consequences and instead focuses on the characters' personal liberation. The film resonates with the current cinematic trend of exploring blurring boundaries in sexuality, while presenting intimate and private moments that challenge viewersâ perceptions and celebrate self-discovery amidst societal norms. This approach emphasizes the enjoyment of these liberating experiences, delivered through standout performances by Kidman and Dickinson.
The most seductive sight Babygirl has to offer is Harris Dickinson, wearing pleated dress pants and no shirt, lifting a robe-clad Nicole Kidman in his arms.
Babygirl...doesn't insist on the moral consequences...the only sexual hangups she explores are the ones Romy has internalized.
Reijn is on a cultural safari through the remnants of American puritanism, and Babygirl approaches its scenario with a giddy deliriousness.
It feels startlingly private, two people discovering something about themselves in real time while we get the singular privilege of watching.
