Babygirl

I am on record as a babygirl, and a lover of babygirls (as you can see in this archival photo of Piper and I being shy little babygirls… taken by the one and only Guy New York) so clearly I was intrigued by the new Nicole Kidman movie, Babygirl.
There’s this weird thing when a film or piece of media is made about a subculture or niche you’re a part of. You want to love it, but you’re sceptical. You go in ready to be wounded. 4 very hot people have texted me in the past few weeks to ask if I’d seen it though, so I took it as a sign and took myself to a midweek matinee.
The first two scenes told me the film was made by a woman, and I was correct. Dutch writer and filmmaker Halina Rejin wrote and shaped these characters and their complexities beautifully. This is absolutely a feminist film, shot through a female gaze.
I was humiliated watching this movie in the theatre, my cheeks were burning red, I was self-conscious of my face and increasing arousal. I was sure the couple behind me could see me squirming.
Seeing all of these intensely personal desires and experiences that I thought were isolated and unique on a huge screen for the world to see was shocking. I felt the same thrill I felt when I found other kinksters on Tumblr over a decade ago and realized I wasn’t the only one…
This movie doesn’t have a lot of typical Hollywood dick-centric sex, but it highlights the ways EVERYTHING becomes sex with the right person. If you’re interested in power-exchange and kinky dynamics I think you’ll enjoy it. And I would love to know what you think if you do! I’m going to write a more explicit review in a few weeks but I couldn’t help but gush a little about it.

Thank you for sharing your thoughts on this movie! I was intrigued by the idea of it, but also heard it’s not great. But I trust your opinion FAR more on such matters! If I get the chance to sneak away to the theatre for a movie that doesn’t feature an animated talking dog, I’ll check it out for sure!

Yesssssss! I like how it showed how they’re figuring it out, relatable.

i loved how awkward it was, in the best way— to me it felt exactly like the first time you go there with someone who matches your energy, that special kink chemistry!
