Directed by Halina Reijn, Babygirl belongs to a category of cinema that was thought to have been lost amid the pandemic. Certain genres found themselves relegated almost entirely to streaming, while films aimed at adult audiences saw their market decline. Until the year 2024, when several such movies were able to find their audience and emerge as proper box office hits. Among the most prominent of them is Babygirl, a May-December erotic thriller that recently hit what could perhaps be its final milestone, weeks after it was made available on digital streaming platforms.
