Summary

"Babygirl" had its world premiere at the 2024 Venice International Film Festival, where it received positive reviews for its smart writing and slick direction from Halina Reijn and Nicole Kidman's bold performance as a high-powered CEO who puts her career and family on the line when she begins a torrid affair with a much younger intern, which won her the Volpi Cup for Best Actress. Reijn was kind enough to spend some time talking with us about her work on the film, which you can listen to or watch below. Please be sure to check out the film, which is now playing in theaters from A24 and is up for your consideration for this year's Academy Awards in all eligible categories, including Best Actress for Nicole Kidman.
