Babygirl would be Kidman’s most daring film to date.
Baby girl Kidman plays Romy, a powerful New York City businessman who embarks on a steamy extramarital affair with a young intern named Samuel, played by The Iron Claw actor Harris Dickinson, 28.
The erotic thriller is said to be Kidman’s most daring work to date, even though she also starred in it Stanley Kubrick‘s 1999 erotic mystery and psychological drama Eyes wide closed with her then husband Tom Cross.
Halina Reijn, the 48-year-old director of the film, describes Baby girl as a “really hot movie” with “radically long” sex scenes between Kidman and Dickinson’s characters.
The Australian actress said of the “radically long” sex scenes: “I felt very exposed as an actor, as a woman, as a human being.
“I had to go in and out, like I had to put my protection back on. What did I just do? Where did I go? What did I do?”

Kidman and Reijn apparently met in New York City to talk about their own “raw life experiences” for inspiration while creating Baby girl.
The Aquaman actress said Vanity fair on the experience: “A lot of the themes in my films have been explored through the lens of sexuality. I haven’t eliminated that or tried to pretend it’s not there.
“It was incredibly honest and graphic to be able to talk – and that’s woman to woman, like sitting on your bed and talking to your sister or your best friend.

‘That is incredibly safe. Halina has a very strong maternal instinct, so she was very protective of all of us. But especially me.’
As for the sex scenes, Kidman and Dickinson worked with intimacy coordinators who helped “signal moments of pleasure, discomfort and everything in between” so the couple could “play authentically.”
Kidman added: “It left me ragged. At one point I was like, I don’t want to be touched. I don’t want to do this anymore, but at the same time I was forced to do it.”
