As a seasoned observer of human dynamics, I must say the excerpt from “Babygirl” leaves me intrigued and somewhat apprehensive. The power play between the two characters, Romy and Samuel, is reminiscent of a classic dance – one that has been waltzed countless times throughout history, yet never ceases to fascinate.


Nicole Kidman found shooting her raunchy scenes with Harris Dickinson for Babygirl ‘liberating’.

The 57-year-old actress stars in the upcoming erotic movie opposite The Iron Claw star, 28.

Now, it’s clear that she felt secure enacting the sensitive scenes because under the guidance of director Halina Reijn, neither actor was pressured beyond their personal boundaries.

In a recent question-and-answer period, Kidman mentioned an approach akin to leaping from a cliff, expressing her intention to let go of all known factors and delve into a familiar genre with trusted individuals.

‘But hopefully we can explore new territory and especially with the female at the helm.’

She mentioned, “‘Your director is at the wheel assuring, ‘I will shield you. Whatever appears in the movie will only be what you’re fine with. You will be alright.’

In these scenes, the actress from Eyes Wide Shut expressed that she placed a significant level of faith in her youthful co-star, trusting him implicitly.

She added: ‘We would look at each other and go, “Okay.”

Dickinson confessed he felt genuinely frightened at times when filming intimate scenes alongside Kidman; however, it was made clear by the actor that Reijn never compelled them to persist with shooting if either party felt uneasy about continuing.

He admitted that there were times when he would enter a situation feeling quite terrified about the scene, or uncertain about how he was going to handle it.

As a lifestyle expert, I always prioritize creating an environment where comfort and authenticity come first. If a situation isn’t flowing smoothly, or if there’s a moment when we’re not feeling quite right about something, I never rush the process. Time is valuable, but it can wait when it comes to ensuring that the end result truly reflects our vision.

‘It was just like, “Okay, everyone go away for a second.”

Babygirl hits cinemas on Christmas Day in the US.

The film chronicles the story of Romy, a strong-willed CEO portrayed by Kidman, whose professional and lifelong achievements are jeopardized as she embarks on a passionate relationship with her junior colleague, Samuel, played by Dickinson.

The actress who plays in Big Little Lies expressed interest in the project as it offered a new, unexplored territory in her professional journey.

She shared that her journey as an actor has always been about seeking new experiences. She often asks herself, “Where haven’t I gone yet?” and “What more can I discover about being human?” This particular location was one she had never visited before.

The Hollywood star, 57, has already received critical acclaim for her performance following the film’s premiere at the Venice Film Festival, where she was awarded Best Actress.

The trailer shows the relationship unfolding, from them first locking eyes to their various rendezvous, showing how Nicole’s character becomes increasingly ‘liberated’ by the steamy liaisons.

The trailer begins with Romy first noticing Samuel on the street, after he calms down a dog who had begun running towards her.

viewers are subsequently provided a peek into Romy’s life, as she juggles her career and family commitments. This includes looking after her kids and maintaining her loving relationship with her devoted spouse, Jacob (played by Antonio Banderas).

‘Don’t you have to be at work yet?’ he asks her as her husband plants a kiss on her cheek. 

She ponders that as a CEO, her role is about collaboration and fostering growth. Yet, it seems everyone is anticipating her to crumble under the stress.

At work, she encounters a fresh batch of interns, among them being the youthful gentleman who assisted her with her pet.

From the very beginning, there’s an undeniable undercurrent of something more than friendly between them, evident when she queries Samuel about his method for soothing the petrified pooch.

In our private sit-down conversation, I delve deep into Romy’s professional life, asking questions without sugarcoating anything.

‘I see myself as a – ‘ Romy begins before Samuel interrupts. ‘Power hungry personality?’ he asks.

Stunned, Romy replies: ‘You think that’s what I am?’

Samuel responds, “I believe you prefer guidance,” he explains, followed by an apology. “That was most unsuitable,” he adds.

Romy states, “Your actions are not suitable,” to which Samuel responds, “Really?” As they exchange their initial kiss, their affair begins.

Samuel says: ‘If we’re going to do this, we need to set some rules that you and I both agree on.

‘Starting with I tell you what to do and you do it.’

The trailer offers a glimpse at a slew of romps during the pair’s jaw-dropping affair, and during one rendezvous, Samuel instructs Romy to get down on her knees.

She exclaims, “What’s going on?” before he instructs, “Kneel down immediately,” followed by a chuckle as he adds, “Is this what you desire?

As the affair continues, Romy tells Samuel, ‘You’re very young. I don’t want to hurt you.’

However, Samuel subtly hints at his control by stating, “I possess the ability to take away everything from you with a single phone call. Doesn’t that excite or intrigue you?

To my utter astonishment, I walked into my own home only to find Samuel seated at our dining table, already engaged in a conversation with my family! It was as if fate had orchestrated this magical encounter!

‘Oh hey,’ he says. ‘You forgot your laptop at the office.’ 

Ever since I’ve been involved in this affair, I’ve noticed a shift in my energy that even my husband appears to sense.

‘You seem liberated,’ Romy’s husband says.  

‘I’ve never experienced anything like this,’ she whispers, ending the preview on a precarious note.
