Nicole Kidman is Harris Dickinson's 'good girl' in the wickedly sexy Babygirl trailer

NIcole Kidman is a high-powered businesswoman who's wound a bit too tight.

That's been Nicole Kidman's de facto state over the past decade or so (Big Little Lies, The Perfect Couple, Expats, The Undoing, Being the Ricardos), having cornered the market on glamorous anxiety.

And while Kidman shined in those roles, as she shines in pretty much everything, she and writer-director Halina Reijn offer a fascinating, sexy twist on that archetype with Babygirl, which won Kidman the Volpi Cup for Best Actress at the Venice Film Festival.

As seen in the first trailer, Kidman is Romy, a high-powered CEO barely holding her professional and personal lives together, even if she is married to a still-would Antonio Banderas. Enter Harris Dickinson's Samuel, a mysterious and "significantly younger" man who exhibits a strong hold over his dog that he soon exercises over Romy.

An intern at her company, Samuel begins a psychosexual relationship with Romy that subverts their power dynamic and seemingly, as these things often tend to go, threatens Romy's career and family.

"You're very young, I don't want to hurt you," Romy seductively whispers to Samuel.

"Hurt me?' Samuel scoffs. "I think I have power over you. Because I could make one call and you could lose everything. Does that turn you on when I say that?"

Yes. Yes it does. By the time Samuel whispers "Good girl" to a camel-coated Romy, several basements have been flooded.

Though Kidman won the Best Actress prize at the Venice Film Festival, she was not able to accept it, as her mother had just died.

"Today I arrived in Venice to find out shortly after that my beautiful, brave mother, Janelle Ann Kidman, has just passed," Reijn read on Kidman's behalf. "I'm in shock and I have to go to my family, but this award is for her. She shaped me, she guided me, and she made me."

"I am beyond grateful that I get to say her name to all of you through Halina," the actress wrote. "The collision of life and art is heartbreaking, and my heart is broken."

In what promises to be a tight, star-studded Best Actress Oscar race, Kidman throws her hat in the ring with Babygirl, out Dec. 25, just in time for the holidays. Because nothing says "Season's greetings" like a little dom-sub play.
