Nicole Kidman premiered her new erotic thriller, 'Babygirl,' at the 81st Venice International Film Festival, where she received a 6.5-minute standing ovation. She admitted feeling 'exposed, vulnerable, and frightened' about the film's intimate content, which includes lengthy and explicit sex scenes. Directed by Halina Reijn, the movie explores themes of power, desire, and existential crisis through Kidman's character, a high-powered CEO who engages in a risky affair with a younger intern, played by Harris Dickinson. The film has garnered positive early reviews, praising Kidman's fearless performance and its modern take on the erotic thriller genre. 'Babygirl' is set for a North American premiere at the Toronto Film Festival and will be released by A24 in December.
