Babygirl (USA, 2024)

Dir. Halina Reijn

Starring:

Nicole Kidman

Antonio Banderas

Harris Dickinson 

Dur: 1 hour 48 mins.

The movie beautifully explores the dynamics of love in a corporate setting. It was good to see erstwhile actors like Nicole Kidman and Antonio Banderas essay new roles which suit their age to a tee. The script seems to be written for them, including some amazing lines by upstart intern Harris Dickinson who drawls, 'You are my babygirl.' 

Directed by Dutch actress and writer Halina Reijn the movie is set in New York City. Her take on female desire and power dynamics is beautifully executed by her actors to whom she gives full credit to.
