“I felt very exposed as an actor, as a woman, as a human being. I had to go in and go out like, I need to put my protection back on. What have I just done? Where did I go? What did I do?”
Nicole also spoke about her anxiety about the world seeing Babygirl, as well as the safe environment that director Halina Reijn created on set. “Halina would hold me and I would hold her, because it was just very confronting to me,” she said. “It was being able to talk unbelievably honestly and graphically—and that’s woman-to-woman, as though you are sitting on your bed and talking to your sister or your best friend. That’s incredibly safe."
“Halina has a very strong maternal instinct, so she was very protective of all of us,” Kidman adds. "But particularly me.”
Halina herself told IndieWire that she's sure that she's made a “really hot movie," above all else. “I know we accomplished one thing, and that is that we made a really hot movie. I don’t know about good, bad—that’s up to everybody—but I’m sure of that,” she said.
