“You’re very young… I don’t want to hurt you.” Oh boy. A24 has revealed the sizzling official trailer for the erotic thriller film titled Babygirl, which originally premiered at the 2024 Venice Film Festival last month (and won Best Actress). Babygirl is the latest feature from Dutch filmmaker Halina Reijn, following up her horror comedy Bodies Bodies Bodies recently. Written and directed by Reijn, Babygirl stars Nicole Kidman as a powerful CEO at a major corporation based in New York City. She begins an erotic affair with a hunky new intern who strolls through her company’s doors one day. The two explore an intimate sub-dom relationship as they both come to understand their own sexuality. Babygirl also stars Harris Dickinson, Antonio Banderas, Sophie Wilde, Esther McGregor. This is a fantastic trailer and a clever marketing campaign (since it opens on Christmas Day) but I’m not the biggest fan of the film overall. It’s very good but not a total knock out (here’s my review). A smart modern film about our kinks and repressing sexual desires.
Here’s the first official trailer (+ poster) for Halina Reijn’s film Babygirl, direct from A24’s YouTube:
A high-powered CEO named Romy (Nicole Kidman) puts her career and her family on the line when she begins a torrid affair with her much younger intern at her company. Filmmaker Halina Reijn explains: “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.” Babygirl is written and directed by Dutch actress / writer / filmmaker Halina Reijn, director of the two films Instinct and Bodies Bodies Bodies previously. Produced by David Hinojosa, Julia Oh, and Halina Reijn. This initially premiered at the 2024 Venice Film Festival this fall (read our review). A24 will debut Halina Reijn’s Babygirl film in select US theaters starting on December 25th, 2024, on Christmas Day, later this year. Who’s interested in joining Romy & Samuel?
