Movie Club, “Babygirl” on February 4th at 17:45

 

 

Dear Movie Fans,

 

We have no shortage of great films the next couple of months, but you expressed interest in seeing ”Babygirl”, which is not suitable for everyone in the group. The film follows Romy Mathis (Nicole Kidman), a successful career woman who has seemingly achieved everything: she’s the CEO of a Manhattan robotics company, she’s happily married to a loving husband, Jacob (Antonio Banderas), and has two teenage daughters. There’s an area of Romy’s life that has always been lacking, however: she’s never felt satisfied sexually or been able to explore her need to be submissively dominated, as Jacob refuses to indulge in such sexual behavior. Enter Samuel (Harris Dickinson), a perceptive young intern who follows a vibe he’s sensing from Romy and starts subtly challenging her boundaries. It’s not long before the electricity between them ignites into a torrid secret relationship, as the controlling Samuel nicknames her “Babygirl” — a name he uses only when she’s met his approval — and Romy, at last, unbridles her long suppressed desires. 

 

”Babygirl” has a tomato meter score of 76% and many, but not all, great reviews. https://www.rogerebert.com/reviews/babygirl-nicole-kidman-film-review
