How Nicole Kidman and Halina Reijn Created a Complex Erotic Thriller in Babygirl

If a creative team weren’t careful, a film about a tech CEO's steamy affair with a younger man could easily risk sliding into trite erotic thriller territory. But A24’s new release, Babygirl, is a fresh exploration of sex, power, and the exhaustion of always trying to live up to societal expectations.
ScreenCraft spoke with writer/director Halina Reijn and star Nicole Kidman about how they worked together to create something fresh and new, while honoring conventions audiences love.

This movie is overexposed before it's even come out. There have been so many spoilers. I'm not sure why they are doing all this press before the release date.

They know it's a turkey.

[@blackforest825]

[@robjacobs6168]

Halina is the writer, director and producer on this project!

[@DDumbrille]

@@blackforest825 Exactly. SHE created the complex erotic thriller, NOT Kidman.

Is she a single? Asking for my pal who speaks English without understanding it 😬
