American movies hate intimacy. This has been going on since long before I was born, but the idea that sex is bad has always been prevalent. Sure, some movies have taken the R rating in stride and delivered works that would normally be talked about for decades, but overall, movies steer clear of depicting the real mechanics of relationships, from cutesy meet-up scenes to actually being together in bed. 2024 was a year in which several movies tackled the subject from different angles with varying success.

Babygirl feels like The Substance 2.0 to me. Many have praised Nicole Kidman for her "courageous decision" (PS: I hate this word) to take on a role like Babygirl. Not only that, but most critics seemed to find the film bold, spicy, and award-worthy. I hate to say it, but the redhead in me can't help it. Have they never experienced anything beyond the norm… To be honest (and my acquaintances in the community can attest to this), this was not a groundbreaking film. Not only that, but there was nothing on display that could be called risqué at all.
