We’ve already seen Nicole Kidman in the dramatic Expats and the funny A Family Affair this year, and now, we get to see Kidman take on the darker and more suspenseful world of thrillers. Babygirl will explore power and sexual dynamics in the workplace, focusing on a forbidden relationship between two colleagues.

The upcoming erotic thriller is directed by Halina Reijn, who made her English-language directorial debut with A24’s satirical horror Bodies Bodies Bodies, which was a critical and commercial success. So, here’s everything we know so far about Kidman’s Babygirl.

**What is the plot of Babygirl?**

Nicole Kidman plays a powerful CEO who engages in a forbidden affair with an alluring and much younger intern, played by The Iron Claw’s Harris Dickinson.

The artistic director of Venice Film Festival, Alberto Barbera, told Variety that the film is about a “sadomasochistic relationship within an American corporation with the novelty that, compared to other similar films, the ending actually testifies to the differences between now and the past”.

**Who stars in Babygirl?**

Alongside Kidman and Dickinson, Antonio Banderas (Puss In Boots), Sophie Wilde (Talk To Me), Jean Reno, Victor Slezak and Anoop Desai will also feature in the film.

**When will Babygirl be released?**

Babygirl will premiere at the 2024 Venice Film Festival in competition (for the prestigious Golden Lion) with Joker: Folie à Deux and many more. After its premiere at Venice in late summer, Babygirl is set to be released in cinemas on 20 December.
