I recently watched Babygirl
Scenario
A high-powered CEO navigates her career and family as she begins a torrid affair with her much younger intern.. Jean Reno shot scenes in the film, but it was completely cut from the finished film..
And I must say, it’s one of the most unique and daring horror films I’ve seen in a while
Directed by Halina Reijn, the film dives deep into the complexities of human desires and power dynamics, wrapped in a tense, almost suffocating atmosphere.First off, the visuals are stunning. Jasper Wolf’s cinematography captures the raw emotion of each scene, blending light and shadow to create a moody, almost dreamlike world.
The supporting cast, while not well-known, do a great job giving the story depth and unpredictability
There’s a constant sense of tension, as if something explosive is always about to happen, and the pace keeps you on edge throughout. Nicole Kidman gives a stunning performance, bringing a mixture of vulnerability and cold calculation to her character.
That said, Babygirl isn’t for everyone
Without giving too much away, the film’s exploration of psychological control and subjugation feels both disturbing and fascinating. Its erotic elements are tastefully done, but some viewers may find them uncomfortable or controversial.
It’s haunting, stylish, and will leave you thinking about it long after the credits roll
The plot feels intentionally vague at times, forcing you to piece together the characters' Motivations that intrigue me but frustrate others. Overall, if you’re into psychological thrillers that don’t shy away from taboo subjects and don’t push the envelope, Babygirl is definitely worth a watch.
