Nicole Kidman's erotic thriller Babygirl is now available to watch on Prime Video in the UK and Ireland.
The film, directed by Halina Reijn (Bodies Bodies Bodies), was added to the streamer today (August 15) following its cinema release on January 10.
Babygirl sees Kidman play Romy, a powerful CEO who embarks on a passionate affair with a much younger intern, Samuel. The Iron Claw's Harris Dickinson co-stars as the intern, while Antonio Banderas plays Kidman's husband Jacob.
After premiering at Venice Film Festival last year, the movie received mostly positive reviews. It currently has a 76% rating on Rotten Tomatoes (from 271 reviews), while the audience score sits at 48% at the time of writing.
The review aggregator's Critics Consensus reads: "Nicole Kidman and Harris Dickinson memorably smolder together in Babygirl, with writer-director Halina Reijn's clinical gaze keeping this sexually frank thriller more provocative than prurient."

Most critics agreed that Kidman is "ferociously good" (via The Telegraph), as she is able to deliver a "fearless turn" that makes the film a "sexy, darkly funny, and bold piece of work" (via Indiewire).
Although some critics said it felt "machine-tooled and vacuum-packed" (via The Guardian), others argued that the story's unexpected turns "feed the thriller engine" and "capture something genuine about women's erotic experience in the age of control" (via Variety).
