Important warning issued to anyone going to see Nicole Kidman’s new X-rated movie in the cinema

The extremely steamy A24 flick was finally released in UK cinemas last Friday (10 January)

At long last, Babygirl has finally hit cinemas and we've all been in a frenzy ever since.

The A24 erotic thriller, starring Nicole Kidman, Harris Dickinson and Antonio Banderas, landed in UK cinemas last Friday (10 January) and it's clear we all couldn't wait to finally feast our eyes on director Halina Reijn's masterpiece.

Now, the plot of the film follows high-powered CEO of a tech company in New York City, Romy Mathis, who is quietly dissatisfied with her sex life with her husband, Jacob, a theatre director.

Romy then puts her career and family on the line when she begins a very steamy affair with her much younger intern, named Samuel.

In short, it's about an hour and 50 minutes worth of power play, kinky sex and a perfectly-positioned dose of George Michael's 'Father Figure'.

And now, one viewer has issued an important warning to anyone going to see the new X-rated movie in the cinema.

Taking to TikTok, he began: "Two things I wish I knew before watching Babygirl.

"Number one, don't go watch that motherf**ker with a family member. It's basically an hour and a half porn video.

"Number two, don't make the mistake I made and go watch that b*tch in like, a very small, intimate movie theatre where it's shoulder to shoulder. There's a scene where she's getting [...] for like, 10 minutes straight, and my kneecap was touching the old geezer's kneecap beside me.

"It was more awkward than what was happening on the screen. I felt like I wanted to die. It was so uncomfortable."

He added: "Don't get me wrong, Nicole Kidman smashed it. That lad in the film, he's gonna be set for life. It was actually a really good movie.

"Just two things to know, no family members [and] do not be sitting beside some random geezer grazing his kneecaps."

Kidman has previously explained Babygirl was the most 'exposing' film she has ever made.

Talking to Vanity Fair, she said: "I’ve made some films that are pretty exposing, but not like this.

"This leaves me exposed and vulnerable and frightened when it’s given to the world. I was like, ‘I hope my hand’s not shaking’.

"It’s like, 'Golly, I’m doing this, and it’s going to be seen by the world’. That’s a very weird feeling. This is something you do and hide in your home videos.

"It is not a thing that normally is going to be seen by the world. I felt very exposed as an actor, as a woman, as a human."

She also explained that during the intimate scenes, she almost felt 'burnt out'.

"There was an enormous amount of sharing and trust and then frustration," she told The Sun.

"It’s like, 'Don’t touch me'. There were times when we were shooting where I was like, 'I don’t want to orgasm any more'.

"Don’t come near me. I hate doing this. I don’t care if I am never touched again in my life!

"I’m over it. It was so present all the time for me that it was almost like a burnout."

Kidman also spoke about the importance of the dynamics on set, explaining at a press conference: "I’m a huge believer still in the sacredness of the set or the actors’ space and it never being violated.

"It’s ours, it’s the bubble, and then there’s the world outside."

Meanwhile, Dickinson praised the work of intimacy co-ordinator Lizzy Talbot, adding: "She was important for the film and broke the unnecessary barrier and conversation around what you have to do.

"Ultimately it’s choreography; when you get into the nitty-gritty of those kind of scenes, you have to be very precise with it and she’s very good at getting straight into it on a pragmatic basis."
