I really wanted to like Babygirl. According to the glowing reviews, it’s an excellent film, and being contrarian about anything starring Nicole Kidman is basically illegal. But with so many great movies to watch this January (Conclave, Nosferatu, and soon, The Brutalist), the only person owed an apology for dedicating two hours of their life to the Oscar winning actress’ latest psychosexual drama is me.
Babygirl tells the story of Romy, the founder and CEO of a successful robotics company, and her desire to temporarily escape her perfect family life for an unwise-but-not-illegal liaison with her intern, Samuel.
