Nicole Kidman’s new erotic thriller “Babygirl” not solely options vacation scenes, however A24 is releasing the film on Dec. 25. So does this make the R-rated movie a Christmas film?

They appear to go towards the grain at all times, so perhaps [Christmas] is the precise time.”

I’m additionally actually penning this film as a letter to myself to actually say to myself — even coming right here at this time, I’m like, ‘What are individuals gonna consider my gown? Am I skinny sufficient? Am I stunning sufficient? Am I regular sufficient to please everybody?’ I believe that’s simply unsuitable. We should always simply be our distinctive selves. Nevertheless it’s simpler mentioned than finished.”
