Nicole Kidman and Harris Dickinson’s latest film, Babygirl, received a remarkable six-and-a-half-minute standing ovation at the Venice Film Festival. In a video circulating on social media, Kidman appears visibly moved by the overwhelming applause for her performance. She is seen embracing the film's writer and director, Halina Reijn, as the audience continues to cheer.

During a press conference following the film's premiere, Kidman discussed the themes of the erotic thriller, describing it as a story about "sex, desire, inner thoughts, secrets, marriage, truth, power, and consent." She emphasized the significance of the film being directed from a female perspective, stating that working with Reijn made the experience particularly liberating and unique.

Babygirl centers on a powerful CEO (played by Kidman) who embarks on an intense affair with her younger intern (Harris Dickinson), putting her career and family at risk. The film also stars Antonio Banderas, Sophie Wilde, and Esther McGregor in key roles.
