Months ago I gave the film Babygirl, by Halina Reijn, a positive review. I have since seen the piece a second time and am prompted to critique it rather further. It presents us with sexual kinkiness and infidelity, and frankly this material is a bit tired. I still don’t underrate the script, though; Reijn is a talented writer. Further, Babygirl is nicely—and, by Nicole Kidman, magnificently—acted, as well as photographically perfect (cinematographer: Jasper Wolf). Kidman is certainly not miscast as either a CEO or a sexual oddball. It is right that Reijn, in the first pre-intimacy scene with Romy and Samuel, made Samuel (Harris Dickinson) alternately no-nonsense and amused. . . The film is a small triumph. And kudos to the director for liking Ibsen.
