Halina Reijn's latest is unrelated to 2013 film of same name.
Nicole Kidman - Romy Mathis
Harris Dickinson - Samuel
Antonio Banderas - Jacob Mathis
Summary
Romy Mathis, CEO and founder of tech giant Tensile Automation, has reached the end of her sexual tether, as hubby Jacob has never given her an orgasm.
During a private meeting with Samuel, Romy rejects a proposition from young intern, but then kisses him.
And so begins a sordid affair.
One phone call
First off, title is derived from Samuel calling submissive partner his 'babygirl'.
Apart from a decent performance from Kidman (who is no stranger to erotic thrillers), this was a shallow, uninteresting chore and immediately comparable to Steven Shainberg's far superior Secretary (2002), which probably inspired the Fifty Shades series.
Oh, 'climax' was so predictable.
