"Babygirl" filmmaker Halina Reijn has much to say about the movie's age gap.
The movie stars Nicole Kidman, 57, a Golden Globe nominee for "Babygirl," and Harris Dickinson, 28. It explores the sexual and romantic dynamics between powerful, married tech CEO Romy (Kidman), and her young intern Samuel (Dickinson), with whom she starts an affair. While the characters' ages are never explicitly revealed, the visible age gap – in which Samuel is closer in age to her children than to herself – and the ever-shifting power dynamic between Romy and Samuel are critical to the story.
