Audiences gave Babygirl a 48% “rotten” rating on RT’s Pocornmeter based on 1,000-plus verified user ratings.

Beth Webb is among the top critics on RT who praises Halina Reijn and Nicole Kidman’s Babygirl. In her review for Empire Magazine, Webb calls Babygirl “an exploration of carnal desire that is at once fiercely erotic, nuanced and raucously funny, with Kidman charging into the breach, flaws bared, taking everything that Reijn hurls her way.”

Kyle Smith of the Wall Street Journal also gave Babygirl a “fresh” review, writing, “Romy has the messy, multifaceted nature of a fully realized character from a literary novel or a memoir, and Ms. Kidman, who is as gifted as she is fearless, is the ideal actress to capture her.”

John Powers is among Babygirl’s detractors on RT. In his review for NPR, Powers writes, “Babygirl’s problem is not Romy’s desire to be dominated. It’s making her erotic liberation so triumphant that the story’s sexual politics don’t matter.”

Peter Bradshaw of The Guardian also gave Babygirl a “rotten” rating on RT, writing, “Kidman has previously played not dissimilar roles in upscale metropolitan locations … there is nobody better at playing elegant and soignée and sophisticated. But she and Dickinson can’t deliver the erotic thrill of actual danger.”

Babygirl is expected to debut on PVOD on Jan. 28.
