Nicole Kidman Stars As CEO In Forbidden Affair In ‘Babygirl’ Trailer

The trailer for Babygirl, an upcoming erotic thriller from A24, has officially been released. The film features Nicole Kidman in the lead role as a high-profile CEO named Romy, whose career and family life are thrown into turmoil after she begins a relationship with a much younger intern. Directed by Halina Reijn, the film also stars Harris Dickinson, Antonio Banderas, Sophie Wilde, Esther McGregor, Vaughan Reilly, Victor Slezak and Leslie Silva. The film is set to hit theaters on December 25, 2024, making it a bold Christmas Day release.

The trailer opens with Romy, played by Kidman, observing a young man calming a dog on the street. This man, later revealed to be Samuel, played by Harris Dickinson, reappears as a new intern in Romy’s company. The trailer highlights Romy’s high-pressure life, balancing her demanding career and family responsibilities while attending botox appointments to maintain her public image. The relationship between Romy and Samuel soon shifts into an intimate affair that explores power dynamics and fantasies, as Romy, the powerful CEO, finds herself in a submissive role.

Set against a Christmas backdrop, the trailer features jingle bells as part of the score, creating an unusual contrast between the festive atmosphere and the unfolding drama. Christmas decorations, such as a tall tree in Romy’s office, emphasize the holiday setting, which aligns with the film’s release date.

Babygirl leans heavily into the erotic aspects of its story, centering on the complexities of an age-gap romance. This is not Kidman’s first role this year involving a younger romantic interest, as she also appeared in A Family Affair, a Netflix film where her character falls for a younger man played by Zac Efron. However, Babygirl promises a distinct tone and storyline, focusing more explicitly on the darker, sexual aspects of such relationships.

The film has already garnered positive attention, with Kidman receiving the Best Actress award at the Venice Film Festival for her portrayal of Romy. Critics have noted her performance as nuanced, portraying a character caught between her professional composure and personal vulnerabilities. Early reviews for Babygirl have also been favorable, with the film holding a 93% rating on Rotten Tomatoes based on 46 reviews, adding to the anticipation surrounding its release.
