Babygirl: Everything we know about Nicole Kidman and Harris Dickinson's steamy thriller

The latest film from Nicole Kidman and Harris Dickinson, baby girl, gets everyone talking – and for good reason.

Baby girl examines an ageist relationship in which a woman in a position of power engages in a sexual affair with her intern. Yes, Kidman's character is the one having the affair and the intern is played by him The Iron Claw Star. But the complex power dynamics aren't quite what you might think… (Think less “abuse of power by bosses” and more “BDSM.”)

In a new interview, Kidman called the role “liberating” but said she had to stop filming at one point due to the intensity of the sex scenes and the day's endless touching.

“There was a tremendous amount of sharing and trust and then frustration,” she said. “It's like, 'Don't touch me.' There were times during filming when I thought, 'I don't want to have an orgasm anymore.'”

She went on to describe how exhausted she felt from the process and reflected on her feelings: “Don't come close to me. I hate doing this. I don't care if I'm never touched again in my life! I'm over it. It was so present for me the whole time that it was almost like burnout.”

In an interview with Peopleshe actually talked about it too go thereand the importance of having a woman at the top. “It's kind of like 'jumping off the cliff', okay, I'm just going to drop everything and explore this with the people I trust, in a genre that's already set, but hopefully we can explore new territory.” and before anything with a woman at the helm,” she said.

We know that too Baby girl Director Halina Reijn was inspired by a sexual thriller primal instinct, starring Sharon Stone and Michael Douglas, about a woman who wasn't sexually satisfied in her marriage.
