This feels like the fourth or fifth movie (almost in a row) where Nicole Kidman plays a character having an affair with a much younger man.

Wasn’t there some hanky panky between her and a younger guy in The Paperboy? And I suppose if we want to get creepy we could add Birth.

At least this one seems to be good, although I really hate how Nicole Kidman looks nower days.

Her and that distracting DNR'ed face of hers seems to be in everything this year. This the 5th or 6th project this year.

I enjoyed it overall. Kidman turns in a great performance. Harris Dickinson continues to be one of the best up-and-comers.

Will be seeing this tomorrow. Used my free A24 ticket.

However, the audience score is looking bad at 54% Audience comments are very mixed. Some say it's boring and unsexy.

It is 100% not a mainstream film, so I wouldn't expect general audiences to care for it.

This was very good! Kidman was raw and sexy and fearless. Harris played his role perfectly and dancing to "father figure" makes the list of scenes of the year. These two matching each other's freak was well done. Loved the music. For me, Best Actress is between Kidman and Madison. I'd love either to get it.

When I went to see it there was no Nicole Kidman AMC "that's magic" promo in front of the Nicole Kidman weird sex film.

Saw it this afternoon. It’s definitely “different”. I think this was a really good performance by Kidman. She showed a darker and more sexual side with a little vulnerability. I really don’t know how I would describe this movie to someone. It’s definitely not mainstream and not for most people. Normally I would not seek out a movie like this, but for a free ticket from A24, it wasn’t the worst way to kill a couple of hours. A decent one time watch.

Saw this last night with an incredibly prudish crowd.

Wonderful performances from Nicole Kidman & Harris Dickinson but Director/Writer Halina Reijn's film needed to be twice as horny

I had four walk-outs from an audience of twenty.
The movie was watchable, but didn't intrigue or stimulate me much. The best part to me was Nichole Kidman. She has an amazing ability to play characters who are so cold, and alien, yet feel rich and vivid instead of dull or off-putting.

Really enjoyed this one, but it definitely could've gone much farther with the sex etc, A24 with another winner. On digital Jan, 28,
Thought it was the perfect length at 1 hour, 50 minutes before end credits. That "Father Figure" scene was something else.

I like Nichole Kidman so I suppose I should enjoy seeing her fake orgasms but I've seen enough of those in real life. Successful people are secretly masochist, I haven't seen that since a Colombo rerun I saw the other night. Women can have a mid-life crisis, who'd have thunk it? I didn't believe anything the characters did, except for the last office scene.

She's a modern day Woody Allen.

Kidman was great and brave for doing some of those belittling scenes and eating food like a dog.

Maybe if they got somebody hotter like Connie Britton, Marisa Tomei, or Diane Krueger I would have been aroused though maybe they could not reach Nicole's level of performance.

Harris Dickinson must be 8 feet tall.
