A24's 'Babygirl' Is A Sexy, Must-See Thrill Ride

Romy Mathis (Nicole Kidman) is a celebrity-level CEO who has it all. But even with all the money in the world, a husband with movie-star good looks (Antonio Banderas), and two gorgeous children, her desires are unfulfilled.

When she begins an affair with a mysterious young intern named Samuel (Harris Dickinson), she can finally define the elusive thrill she's been seeking: a subversive power dynamic that allows her to be the "babygirl" for once. She can't get enough — even at the risk of losing it all.

Written and directed by Halina Reijn and featuring a Golden Globe-nominated performance from Kidman, this gripping erotic thriller stretches the genre into new territory. Seeing it might spur some breathless fantasies and new incognito internet searches... just loop HR out of it.

In theaters this Christmas.

Sure, not all of us kept – and have held onto – our childhood diaries, but she has, and it turns out it's been illuminating for her as she navigates her kid getting older.
