Romy’s got a lot going on—she’s running a big company in New York and juggling her roles as a mom and a wife. But something’s missing in her marriage with Jacob, who’s more into theater directing than the business scene. Things take an interesting turn when she meets Samuel, this young intern at work who kind of just gets her vibe. Their relationship takes off in this thrilling yet dicey territory where they’re constantly testing boundaries.

Meanwhile, things are buzzing behind the scenes too. The director of “Bodies Bodies Bodies” caught attention from Nicole Kidman, which led to the creation of Romy’s character specifically for her. Kidman throws herself into the role with tons of energy, showing off her talent for picking roles that push boundaries.

Romy knows she’s playing with fire—there’s her job and family hanging in the balance—not to mention her husband played by Antonio Banderas and their two daughters often add layers to the movie’s satirical edge. She dives headlong into this steamy fling with Samuel, exploring new sides of herself that contrast sharply with her usual life where she’s always in charge.

Oh, it’s quite a ride, mixing power plays and self-discovery all while everyone’s walking on thin ice.
Hey, so this movie kind of dives into some deep stuff. It looks at Romy and doesn’t spend too much time trying to justify her backstory because, let’s be real, people are pretty open-minded these days.

The script is super interesting because it gets into the nitty-gritty of a relationship. It feels more real than most other stuff out there. You see all sorts of doubts and the ups and downs these characters face as they try something new together. It’s like they don’t just magically figure everything out—it’s awkward, sometimes funny, but also shows a lot of determination.

The film gives Harris Dickinson an engaging role. He’s being shaped as today’s man—one who’s mindful of consent while still challenging gender norms without getting lost in the chaos.

Overall, this movie flips the typical thriller thing on its head and throws in some humor and self-awareness. It’s coming from a fresh perspective—a Dutch woman experiencing America—and has that stylish A24 touch too!
Without getting too cheesy or over-the-top, the movie knows just how to poke fun at itself while staying true to the genre. It’s got this fun, self-aware vibe where it sort of leans into the whole “yeah, we know it’s a movie” thing. Plus, it blends real and fictional elements in a way that keeps things fresh and pretty engaging.
