Nicole Kidman: 'I’ve made many sexual films, but this is different'

Nicole Kidman and Harris Dickenson in Babygirl.  

Nicole Kidman has starred in films with sexual themes before, but for the 57-year-old, Babygirl is different. It’s why she felt shooting the film was akin to a fever dream she eventually had to wake up from.

“I’ve made many sexual films, but this is different,” says the Australian actress. “Doing this subject matter in the hands of the woman that wrote the script, who is directing it and is a really great actress herself – we became one in a weird way, which I’d never had with a director before. When you’re working with a woman on this subject matter, you can share everything with each other.”
