Beyond the erotic nature of its latter half,one of the more notable elements of theBabygirltrailer is its Christmas setting.Sonically, jingle bells play throughout the trailer, acting as the score.

ThisBabygirltrailer also delved far deeper into theage-gap romanceat the heart of the film. Oddly enough,it is not even Kidman’s first time this year playing a character wooed by a younger man.She also did so in the Netflix movieA Family Affair, wherein her character fell in love with Zac Efron’s younger main character. Despite their similar age gaps,Babygirlcould not be more different fromA Family Affair, for Reijn’s film leans much more heavily into the erotic and overtly sexual.
Our Take On The Babygirl Trailer
Kidman’s Acting Seems To Be A Standout
Even watching just this trailer, I am unsurprised that this movie led to Nicole Kidman’s win for Best Actress at the Venice Film Festival.Kidman seems to play Romy as both deceitful and curious, excited and corrupted by the thrill of her nascent affair. If Kidman’s Venice win and trailer performance aren’t enticing enough,Babygirl’s early reviewsare also great. At the time of writing, the film has a 93% Tomatometer with 46 reviews, adding to the anticipation forBabygirl.
