Babygirl
After this film began with 2 sex scenes & a dog attack, I️ started to wonder what I️ had gotten myself into. Nicole Kidman plays Romy, a powerful CEO of a New York tech company. She has been married to her theater director husband Jacob (Antonio Banderas) for 29 years & they have 2 teenage daughters. In this erotic thriller, things get hot & heavy when Romy meets the new young intern Samuel (Harris Dickinson). Is this going to be a sexual harassment situation with some cougar action? Is Romy lacking sexual satisfaction from Jacob & is seeking more excitement? Is Samuel going to be the victim or will the tables get turned? This disturbing film is about power & control rather than love & romance. Will this affair be career ending? Will this break up a happy family? Will everyone live happily ever after? Through much of the film, I️ questioned why Kidman would choose such a role, although she was quite remarkable in her portrayal of this troubled woman. Some may be disgusted with this storyline & view it as sick & borderline porn. Some may be sexual curious & want to see it.. But perhaps, this story is a warning to avoid these situations.
Alien gives it 2½ “sexual fantasy” stars out of 4.
