Nicole Kidman's age-gap romance Babygirl has been billed as the sexiest film of the year which focuses on female desire as she embarks on an illicit affair. Nicole's character Romy is married to her husband of 19 years Jacob [Antonio Banderas] but is deeply unsatisfied with their sex life.
She finds what she has been searching for sexually in an intern at work, Samuel [Harris Dickinson], who she enters into a BSDM-style relationship with. Samuel confronts Nicole's deepest desires and takes control of their relationship in a way she has been lacking with her husband.
The sexually-charged film has been hit by controversy due to the age-gap between Nicole and Harris' characters, with the film's director forced to defend the choice. The director behind the erotic thriller, Halina Reijn, has said she hopes her film will show that women are not 'trapped in a box' anymore and argued that having relationships with younger men should be 'normalised'.
The film begins with Romy having sex with her husband Jacob [Banderas], where she is seemingly enjoying herself until he reaches climax. The film begins with Romy having sex with her husband Jacob, where she is seemingly enjoying herself until he reaches climax.
