TO WATCH: “BABYGIRL” BY HALINA REIJN

A thrilling exploration of social taboos, secret desires, and power plays

Romy Miller (Nicole Kidman), a driven and powerful CEO of a rising stock market company, seems to have the perfect life: married to a theatre director (Antonio Banderas), the couple enjoys life together with their two daughters. However her balance of private and professional life shifts, when the new intern Samuel (Harris Dickinson) arrives at her company. Samuel’s youthful confidence, bursting all rules, not only challenges Romy’s dominant character but also sparks a deep, forbidden fire within her. As the affair between the two intensifies, Romy slowly loses control, pushing all boundaries of both her career and her marriage.

Directed by Halina Reijn, known for her creative exploration of social taboos and power struggles in films like “Instinct” and “Bodies Bodies Bodies”, “Babygirl” continues to be another captivating deep dive into these topics. Reijn demonstrates her talent for crafting complex character and detail studies, while keeping the viewers on edge throughout the movie, playing with their expectations and leading them down unexpected paths.
Nicole Kidman delivers another standout acting performance, portraying a woman torn between desire and good sense, while Antonio Banderas and Harris Dickinson follow Kidman´s footsteps with their own strong performances.

Set to release on January 16th, 2025, “Babygirl” will showcase Halina Reijns’s distinct directional talent, offering the audience another thrilling exploration of various human emotions and relationships.
