A high-powered CEO (Nicole Kidman) puts her career and family on the line when she begins a torrid affair with her much younger intern. Starring Harris Dickinson (Triangle of Sadness, The Iron Claw), Antonio Banderas (Pain and Glory, The Mask of Zorro, Shrek), Sophie Wilde (Talk to Me), and Esther McGregor (The Room Next Door). 

Director Halina Reijn: “All of us carry a little black box filled with taboo fantasies that we might never share with anyone. I am fascinated by the duality of human nature, and this film is an attempt to shine a light, without judgement, on the opposing forces that make up our personalities. To me, feminism is the freedom to study a woman’s vulnerability, love, shame, rage, and inner beast. Growing older means facing the endlessness of everything. During midlife, we can no longer hide, and must face our inner demons; the more we suppress our shadow, the more dangerous and disruptive our behaviour can become.The affair at the heart of Babygirl allows Romy and Samuel to play out their confusion around power, gender, age, hierarchy, and primal instinct. Despite its forbidden nature, the joy of that exploration is liberating, even healing.”
