Moviegoers who were around in the 1980s and 1990s know that movie theaters used to be terrible at erotic thrillers. Do you think there are too many superhero movies today? That’s how many erotic thrillers there were – or maybe more – because they were relatively cheap to make and, let’s face it, sex sells.
Eventually, audiences tire of erotic thrillers, as happens when any particular genre is destroyed by too many inferior imitators. But nowadays the erotic thriller is practically an endangered species. Then I could see this new – called Little babystarring Nicole Kidman and the appropriate name Harris Dickinson – being a great success. Competition is more than scarce, and the premise of this one (Kidman is the head of a company who takes an interest in an intern, leading to a dangerous relationship) is very good.
The trailer also looks good. You can watch below.

Little baby it already premiered at the Venice and Toronto Film Festivals earlier this fall and was well-received at both venues. It currently has a 93 percent on Rotten Tomatoes, and Kidman won Best Actress at Venice for her performance, signaling that this erotic thriller could also be, of all things, an awards contender. (Then again, Fatal Attraction was nominated for Best Picture, so there’s a precedent there.)
Here’s the film’s official synopsis:
A powerful CEO puts her career and family at risk when she begins a torrid affair with her much younger intern.
Little baby is scheduled to open in theaters at Christmas.
