Nicole Kidman stars as CEO in new film Babygirl exploring power and desire

In "Babygirl," Nicole Kidman plays Romy Mathis, a married CEO who begins an affair with a younger intern, Samuel. The film explores themes of sexual desire and power dynamics, but critics note it lacks depth in addressing these issues. Romy struggles with her unsatisfying marriage and seeks fulfillment through her relationship with Samuel. Despite the film's promise of a daring exploration of sexuality, it is criticized for being tame and not fully engaging with the complexities of their relationship. The film raises questions about power and desire but ultimately avoids deeper consequences. Critics argue that it fails to reflect the current cultural climate regarding sexual politics, especially in the context of workplace relationships.
