I’m not sure if I’m the right person to judge whether Nicole Kidman’s new film, ‘Babygirl,’ looks good or not. After all, I’d happily watch a two-hour compilation of her taking out the trash. But something tells me this A24 production, which also stars Harris Dickinson and Antonio Banderas, might be more than just a guilty pleasure. The buzz surrounding ‘Babygirl’ has been intense, even before the trailer dropped. It’s been compared to the critically acclaimed ‘Carol,’ suggesting a similar level of emotional intensity and potentially controversial subject matter. And let’s be honest, a little bit of ‘hotness’ never hurts when it comes to attracting an audience.
The Venice Film Festival response has been positive, with critics praising the film’s performances and overall quality. But that hasn’t stopped the debate about what exactly makes ‘Babygirl’ tick. Some are eager to see Kidman in a darker, more complex role. Others are simply curious to see what the A24 team has cooked up this time. One thing’s for sure: ‘Babygirl’ is already making waves and generating plenty of online discourse.
Check out the full trailer yourself, and see if you’re convinced. ‘Babygirl’ is set to hit theaters this Christmas, and I’m betting it’s going to be a hot topic for weeks to come.
