Heu....y a eu un problème de direction d'acteurs : aucune connexion, une tension forcée, un jeu forcé de manière générale. Pourtant j'ai vu l'intention du film je pense qu'il ya de la bonne volonté mais cela reste très maladroit. On se perd plus dans les revendications sociétales post metoo et revendications de la place des femmes, des jeux de pouvoirs qui au final sont plutôt malsains, maladroits et ne servent pas le propos du film. La tension ressemble plutôt à de gros moments de gêne et ne parvient pas à se frayer un chemin dans le vide qui sépare les deux personnages. Et c'est ça le problème : l'accent a été mis sur les effets de pouvoirs plus que sur la relation entre les personnages et le travail sur leur complexité interne. Résultat: même si on en apprend un peu sur l'histoire des personnages, ça reste très superficiel et on reste de marbre devant cette tentative de liens, empêtré dans de pseudo stéréotypes de lutte de genre. C'est dommage.
Synopsis
A high-powered CEO puts her career and family on the line when she begins a torrid affair with her much younger intern.

Opinions on 'Babygirl' are mixed, with Nicole Kidman's performance receiving praise for its depth and daring. The film's exploration of female desire and power dynamics through an erotic thriller lens intrigues, yet some find the execution lacking, criticizing its dialogue and perceived superficiality. The chemistry between Kidman and Harris Dickinson is noted, but the film's narrative and thematic ambitions divide viewers, with some appreciating the bold portrayal of sexuality and others feeling it misses the mark.
👍 Kidman's performance is daring and nuanced.
👎 Some find the dialogue and themes superficial.

Disappointed want to watch again Acton was poor attention and story was poor and I would have liked to see different female cast
Babygirl's explicit affair between Romy and Samuel serves as the primary plot of the erotic thriller, but the themes of the film are entirely rooted within Romy's personal growth and eventual acceptance of her sexuality. Samuel himself remains something of a cipher in the film, purposefully so. Instead, the entire emotional growth of the movie is centered on Romy overcoming her colder and withdrawn elements. Instead of lying to Jacob or angrily lashing out with revelations about their relationship, Romy ends the film being honest with him and actually achieving satisfaction with their romance.
Pretty good! Great acting.

I DO NOT CLAIM THIS LOVE EVER. This was a truly awful experience but it was like I couldn’t stop watching?
