Get ready to drink some more milk – “Babygirl” is getting a theatrical rerelease on Valentine’s Day across the U.S.

The kinky erotic thriller stars Nicole Kidman as a tech CEO whose life begins to unravel when she has an affair with a younger company intern (Harris Dickinson).

The movie earned a six and a half-minute standing ovation at its world premiere at the Venice Film Festival, where Kidman went onto to earn the Volpi Cup for best actress. She also took home the National Board of Review’s best actress honor and earned a Golden Globe nomination.

Written and directed by Halina Reijn, the film surpassed $50 million at the global box office, according to A24. International markets delivered $34 million with domestic ticket sales hitting $28 million. Kidman’s domestic career box office total is now at a staggering $2.5 billion.

Rounding out the cast are Antonio Banderas, Esther Rose McGregor,...

Thanks to its premiere at the Venice International Film Festival, Babygirl made waves ahead of its theatrical release and it helps that it boasts an all-star cast. Directed by Halina Reijn (Bodies Bodies Bodies), the Nicole Kidman-led erotic thriller centers on Romy, a high-powered CEO who finds herself entangled in a high-stakes affair with her much younger intern, Samuel (Harris Dickinson). Although Romy is mostly satisfied with her long-time marriage to Jacob (Antonio Banderas), something is missing when it comes to desire and sex. Hailed as one of the best erotic thrillers in years, Babygirl explores complex power dynamics.

Not only does the film feature an age-gap romance, but Babygirl plays with the characters' positions of power. While Kidman's Romy is in charge in the workplace, the ever-confident Samuel takes control elsewhere. The character-driven narrative easily makes Babygirl one of Nicole Kidman's best movies, though it also leaves ample room for Dickinson,...

The title of "best Michelle Williams performance in recent years" is officially up for debate. This much, everyone can agree on: she absolutely dazzles in Steven Spielberg's autobiographical ode to cinema, "The Fablemans," stealing the show as the free-spirited mother who encourages Sammy's artistic sensibilities. But that just makes it all the more stunning to catch a glimpse of her in "Showing Up," where she plays a frazzled Portland sculptor whose professional and personal lives are crumbling around her. Based on early reviews out of Cannes and NYFF, this is yet another masterclass performance from Williams and another showcase for the talents of director Kelly Reichardt.

Given Reichardt's track record with contemplative dramas about the American working class, the premise of "Showing Up" should be no surprise. Per the synopsis, "A sculptor (Williams) preparing to open a new show must balance her creative life with the daily dramas of family and friends,...

On Thursday, A24 released the first official trailer for the upcoming drama film “Showing Up,” directed by “First Cow” filmmaker Kelly Reichardt, who also penned the script for the film alongside Jon Raymond.

The film follows an artist on the verge of a career-changing exhibition who finds inspiration in the chaos of life.

It stars Michelle Williams (her fourth collaboration with Reichardt), Hong Chau, Judd Hirsch, Maryann Plunkett, John Magaro, Andre Benjamin, Heather Lawless, Amanda Plummer, Larry Fessenden, James Le Gros, and Izabel Mar.

The film was produced by Neil Kopp, Vincent Savino, and Anish Savjani under the production banner of FilmScience.

“Showing Up” is scheduled to be released in theatres by A24 in 2023.

Three years after dazzling audiences with the Oregon Trail period piece “First Cow,” Kelly Reichardt is returning to the state for another animal-centric film. “Showing Up,” Reichardt’s new film from A24, tells the story of a struggling Portland sculptor (Michelle Williams), who befriends a wounded pigeon while she prepares for a major art show as her professional and personal lives crumble around her.

“Showing Up” marks the fourth collaboration between Reichardt and Williams. They first worked together on “Wendy and Lucy,” the 2008 film about a homeless woman’s quest for a lost dog, which helped establish Reichardt as a major independent filmmaker. They collaborated again on Meek’s Cutoff, a 2010 period piece about the harsh conditions that Oregon settlers faced in the mid-1800s. Most recently, Williams starred alongside Kristen Stewart and Laura Dern in “Certain Women,” Reichardt’s innovative adaptation of three Maile Meloy short stories that followed...
