Nicole Kidman has recently opened up about her experience while filming her latest movie, Babygirl. The 57-year-old actress revealed that there were moments during the filming process where she didn't want to orgasm anymore. The highly anticipated film, which stars Kidman as Romy, an ambitious tech CEO, alongside Harris Dickinson as Samuel, an intern at the company, was released on Christmas day in the US and on January 10th in the UK.
Early reviews of the erotic thriller have been overwhelmingly positive, with many critics praising Kidman's performance. In fact, Metro's own film critic stated that the movie puts Kidman "in a whole new category" as an actress. According to The Sun, Kidman called the experience of shooting the film "liberating" and emphasized the importance of trust between herself, the director Halina Reijn, and Dickinson in making it happen.
Reijn, who directed the A24 film, also features sex scenes between Kidman and her co-star Antonio Banderas. This meant that many days of filming featured an overwhelming amount of touch for Kidman, which she admits could lead to frustration. "There were times when we were shooting where I was like, 'I don't want to orgasm anymore'," Kidman shared.
The actress also mentioned that participating in a film of this nature was new territory for her and required a lot of trust. She explained, "There's a sort of a jump off the cliff thing where you go, okay, I'm just going to abandon everything and explore this with the people that I trust in a genre that is already set, but hopefully we can explore new territory and especially with a female at the helm."
Dickinson, who plays Kidman's much younger intern, also emphasized the level of trust needed between himself and Kidman during filming. "Of course, there were days where I would go in really terrified of a scene or I don't know how I'm going to do this," he said.
But the trust between the actors and their director was essential in creating a safe and comfortable environment on set. "We never felt that time was more important. It was just like, 'Okay, everyone go away for a second'," Dickinson added.
Kidman also had to come to terms with the fact that the world would see something she did and hide in her home videos. "It's like, 'Golly, I'm doing this, and it's actually now going to be seen by the world.' That's a very weird feeling," she shared.
The film's steamy trailer has already created a buzz among fans, with many expressing their excitement on social media. Some have even called it Kidman's best performance yet. "The cast & characters are never not compelling. Kidman is riveting. One of my favorites of the year," one fan wrote on Twitter.
The film's release also marks Kidman joining the trend of older leading ladies romancing younger actors on screen. Hollywood has seen actresses like Anne Hathaway, Laura Dern, and Olivia Wilde starring opposite much younger actors in recent films.
"Alright, Hollywood, you've got our attention," the article concludes. With such a talented cast and a highly anticipated plot, Babygirl is sure to create a buzz in the film world.
