Everything we know about Nicole Kidman in Babygirl

It's been 25 years since Nicole Kidman's last erotic Christmas film, and another one is long overdue. Luckily the good people at A24 are releasing Baby girl on Christmas day. The new film, directed by Halina Reijn and starring Kidman and Harris Dickinson, follows the relationship between a powerful CEO and her intern as they embark on a kinky and torrid affair. Awoooooga!

This is the movie that's going to spice up your group chat over the holidays – get ready to use the milk emoji more than ever – so here's everything you need to know.

Baby girl premiered at the Venice Film Festival earlier this year, where Reijn was nominated for the festival's top honor, the Golden Lion. Kidman received the award for Best Actress, but had to miss the ceremony due to the unexpected death of her mother.

“I am in shock and have to go to my family, but this award is for them. She shaped me, she guided me and she created me. I am extremely grateful that Halina allows me to share her name with all of you,” Kidman said in a statement released by Reijn. “The collision of life and art is heartbreaking and my heart is broken.”

After his successful debut in Venice Baby girl was part of the Toronto International Film Festival program. The reviews of these festivals were mixed to positive. Vulture's Allison Willmore called it “an adventure of self-discovery that's unashamedly indulgent but always surprising.”

In conversation with Vanity Fair Ahead of the film's premiere in Venice, Kidman shared that filming all of the sex scenes in the film was stressful for her. “It left me ragged. At some point I thought I didn't want to be touched. I don't want to do this anymore, but at the same time I was forced to. Halina held me and I held her because it was just very confronting for me,” the actress said.

“There were times during filming where I thought, 'I don't want to have an orgasm anymore,'” Kidman recently said The sun. “For me it was so present the whole time that it was almost like burnout.”

At a screening of the film earlier this month, Kidman told the audience that she is always trying to move in a new direction. “As an actor, I've always been looking, I'm always going, where haven't I been? And what can I explore as a human? And this was an area I had never been to,” she said.

Although she is not afraid of the unknown, Kidman urged Reijn to make sure she doesn't go too far. “When I met with Halina and we talked about it, I was like, 'Just give us a safe space,' and then, 'Please don't make me look like an idiot,'” Kidman told Halina diversity.

I mean, wouldn't you be? Like the rest of us, Dickinson is a Kidman fan. “Subliminally I kept asking her, 'What was it like working with Stanley Kubrick?' I was always there and always thought about how she was this monolithic figure in the cinema,” he said recently diversity.

“She is the most pleasant and warm artist to work with,” Dickinson said. “She sets the tone on set and makes it so easy to be vulnerable and funny because she is so brave. She’s so brave and does things and you’re like, ‘What the hell is that?’ You can’t even think about it.”

Yes, Baby girl is coming out at Christmas, but unless you have a really relaxed relationship with your mother, I think you should leave her at home this time. My colleague Brooke Marine saw the film and I asked her what she thought. “I can't think of anything more unpleasant than watching this movie with my family over the holidays,” she told me.

I don't even think I would be able to watch the trailer with my family. This is perfect for the time around December 27th when you urgently need to get out of the house. If you are a family that enjoys going to the movies at Christmas, can I recommend Timothée Chalamet's Bob Dylan film? This thing looks genderless and your dad will love it.
