Woman in Revolt Editor-in-Chief joins Alex to discuss Halina Reijn's Babygirl, a movie we liked but didn't love but we think is worth digging into.
Nicole Kidman stars as Romy, a high-powered CEO married to a theatre director, played by Antonio Banderas, but unsatisfied with her sexual relationship in her marriage. When a new intern at her company, played by Harris Dickinson, clocks her desire for submission, they begin a pas-de-deux that turns into a sexual power-exchange relationship.
On the episode, we discuss the film's best scenes, why Harris Dickinson steals the film, whether the film is as racy as it thinks it is, some of its missteps, and compare it to other recent films it's in conversation with (from Fifty Shades of Grey to Elle).
