Nicole Kidman Shines in Halina Reijn’s Provocative New Babygirl Trailer

This Christmas, from director Halina Reijn (Bodies Bodies Bodies), comes an electric drama, as Babygirl is a sensual and explosive tale of ambition, power, and forbidden passion.

The film stars Oscar-winning actress Nicole Kidman in what critics are already calling one of her most daring roles. Kidman plays a high-powered CEO whose seemingly perfect life spirals out of control when she embarks on a passionate affair with her much younger intern, played by Triangle of Sadness breakout star Harris Dickinson. Rounding out the star-studded cast are Sophie Wilde (Talk to Me), who plays Kidman’s estranged daughter, and Antonio Banderas, in the role of a mysterious figure tied to the protagonist’s professional and personal unraveling. From a screenplay directed by Halina Reijn, Babygirl pledges an intense cocktail of carnal tension and psychodrama. With sharp storytelling and often fearless tackling of taboo subjects, Reijn has already built immense buzz on this project. The recently released trailer teases a slick, visually stunning film brimming with emotional intensity and suspense.

Meanwhile, critics have raved about tantalizing glimpses of Kidman’s layered performance in the trailer as “never better” and credited Reijn’s ability to marry style and substance. Boasting a plot that tackles power struggles, sacrifice, and the great dismantling brought on by baser inclinations, Babygirl is shaping up to be one of the season’s most talked-about films.

Catch Babygirl in theaters this Christmas for some truly electric performances that are performed in bold storytelling and will leave audiences gasping for air.
