Babygirl (2024)

1h 54mins

4/10

First time watch in the cinema

I absolutely love Nicole Kidman and will always give something a go if I see she is in it.

This is described as an erotic thriller, but I don’t think that I would describe it that way.

There wasn’t any point where I was on edge waiting for the “dun dun dah” moment that you get in most thrillers. With a married woman having an affair, I don’t think it can be categorised as a thriller because she is worried her husband will find out.

The “erotic” scenes felt more uncomfortable to watch than sexy, where I wasn’t sure if either of them were really into what they were doing.

I guess a film that this slightly reminds me of which I feel satisfies the “erotic thriller” genre would be Chloe (2019).

I spent a lot of the time watching Babygirl wondering do I like this, do I care what happens, do I feel like there’s a story to follow here. I left wanting to go home and watch Chloe again.

Would not watch again
