This Baby Has Some Growing Up To Do

A lot has been said about Babygirl, mostly involving Kidman’s performance. The remainder of chatter has been about the uniqueness of its story and how it pushes boundaries around this topic. Unfortunately I have issues with both of those talking points: yes, Kidman does push herself to new territory she has not necessarily been to before as an actor, but it’s really just her very personal artistic growth but not one the audience actually shares in. This story/script doesn’t really cover anything new. It’s basically an older woman in power cheating on her husband with a much younger man. I’ve seen this story numerous times before and some of them were better told. Sure, their specific sexual dynamic is not as common but it just all seemed so familiar. If it were a lesser known actress in the lead novel one would be talking about Babygirl, because it just doesn’t warrant it. As for Kidman’s performance, she does nail the sex scenes quite well but otherwise her character isn’t that interesting and she’s done much better work in numerous other films.

full of fantasy

This film is really different from other love affairs between young girls and young girls this year. The focus is not on having an affair with a young girl, but on the heroine as a middle-aged person trying to explore her long-standing sexual fantasies and struggling with whether to face the reality. Self, or suppressing and covering up the need to be a normal person. Because what she likes is not young meat, but alternative sexual fetishes. Moreover, in several other old-young romances, the woman is single (widowed or divorced). The purpose is to avoid moral condemnation and just to please the female audience, so they are all presented in the form of romantic comedies. But this film deals with ethics such as cheating and inappropriate behavior in the workplace, and emphasizes the heroine’s inner condemnation, shame, and desire to stop. Therefore, it is no longer a comedy or fantasy, but is presented in a suspense-thriller manner, and it explores not love but self-awareness.

Fails to deliver on its premise

Underdeveloped characters’ storyline, the dialogue between them is flat, absolutely no chemistry between the main character and the young man. Nicole Kidman’s character, meant to be a layered portrayal of vulnerability and control, comes across as shallow and poorly developed. The supporting cast, including Antonio Banderas, is equally underutilized, leaving their roles feeling more like afterthoughts than essential parts of the story. The script lacks depth, relying heavily on melodrama and predictable tropes rather than offering any fresh perspective on female desire or empowerment. Scenes that aim to be provocative or intense often feel forced and unconvincing, making the film’s attempts at emotional resonance fall flat.

The pacing is another significant issue. The movie drags in its middle act, with repetitive dialogue and unnecessary subplots that add little value to the overall narrative.

Confusing and Confused Movie

Nicole Kidman is giving a performance in “Babygirl” that no doubt many people will be calling “brave,” mostly because it suggests that women over the age of 50 (gasp!) like to have sex and maybe even like to get kinky once in a while.

She does give a good performance, and it’s the movie’s biggest selling point. It’s a shame that by the time the film is over her performance has been diluted by a muddled screenplay that doesn’t know what it wants to say about gender dynamics or the sexual power play between men and women. Maybe confusion is the point, because Kidman’s character doesn’t completely know what she wants. She enjoys her place as a powerful female leader in the professional world, but she also enjoys relinquishing that power in the bedroom and giving into submissive fantasies. But only up to a point — submissiveness for women can quickly veer into uncomfortable territory if taken too far by the man they’re with. Scary can be fun, but after a certain line is crossed, scary is just scary.

I applaud a film that’s honest about female sexuality, but I wish the topic had been given a better movie than this.

Grade: B.

One of these comes around every decade

Fatal Attraction, 9 1/2 Weeks, Unfaithful, 50 Shades etc – one of these moody, erotic films comes along about once a decade. Everyone either gets off a little, clutches their pearls or sees it for it is – a sexual fluff piece. They are almost always shot really gracefully and the cinematography is also always on point. Fine acting and a smoking hot couple for everyone in the audience to have a little something. The difference here is the all woman collaboration which was probably a really attractive draw for these actors – to see how this film in a genre dominated by Adrian Lyne compares. I can’t believe I’m going to say this because I really enjoy her but I don’t think Kidman was the right casting for the lead. She’s beautiful, aging beautifully and has give some really good performances over the years – I didn’t like this one. And the dude is cute but a little creepy too. It was entertaining and a little jaw dropping but the story and especially the ending was really clunky.

Storyline

Did you know

TriviaINXS’s “Never Tear Us Apart” is used during one of the erotic scenes, but distributor A24 struggled to get the rights for it. Director Halina Reijn loved the scene with the song and tried many other songs, but nothing worked. After a few sleepless nights, she complained about the situation to Nicole Kidman, who told Reijn to give her a couple of days. Kidman then managed to secure the rights.

GoofsSamuel has a cross tattoo on the left side of his chest in the first intimate hotel encounter with Romy, but it’s not there at all when he dances for her in another hotel room scene later in the movie.
