Babygirl (2024): Desire, Power, and the Courage to Reveal
In this episode of Sex, Bodies, and Cinema, Jason and Ashley explore Halina Reijn’s daring 2024 film Baby Girl, starring Nicole Kidman as Romy, a high-powered CEO whose carefully managed life spirals when she begins a dangerous affair with a much younger intern, played by Harris Dickinson. Co-starring Sophie Wilde and Antonio Banderas, the film pushes into charged territory—blurring lines between consent, power, repression, and self-discovery. We unpack how Baby Girl toys with erotic thriller tropes while delivering something messier and more human: a meditation on risk, authenticity, and the shadows we keep hidden—even from ourselves.
Trigger Warning: Discussions of BDSM, power imbalances, infidelity, sexual repression, and coercion.
