⭐ Insomniacs Rating: 8/10 THE SUMMARY Romy (Nicole Kidman), a high-powered CEO who seems to have it all, finds her controlled world spiraling when she starts a pained, risky affair with a much younger intern (Harris Dickinson). As their gritty, erotic power play deepens, the lines between her professional authority and personal desires blur into a visceral mess. It’s a sharp, modern look at the pained complexities of female desire and the masks people wear in the corporate world, wrapped in a sleek, high-stakes package. THE PROS This is an absolute win for anyone who misses the "erotic thriller" genre. It hits an 8 because Nicole Kidman gives a pained, honest performance that proves she is still at the top of her game. The chemistry with Harris Dickinson is a total banger—it’s tense, uncomfortable, and feels incredibly real. The film is an epic exploration of power dynamics, trading clichés for a sincere and often pained look at what happens when a person in total control finally lets go. It’s a gritty, stylish ride that feels "un-AI" in its raw, human messiness. Antonio Banderas also provides a fair shout as Romy’s husband, adding a pained, grounding weight to the domestic side of the story. THE CONS It stays at an 8 because the third act takes some pained narrative turns that might feel like a bit of a "head scratcher" for those wanting a more traditional resolution. It misses a higher mark because the pacing in the middle sags slightly as it focuses on the corporate fallout, which isn't quite as gripping as the central pained relationship. While the grit is there, the ending is an honest attempt at subverting tropes that might leave some viewers feeling a bit pained and unsatisfied. THE VERDICT 8/10. A gritty, pained, and provocatively honest thriller. It’s an epic showcase for Kidman and a fair shout for the most talked-about drama of the year. INSOMNIAC TRIVIA • Nicole Kidman stated in interviews that the role was so pained and vulnerable that she occasionally had to stop filming to "collect herself" from the intensity of the scenes.• Director Halina Reijn utilized a specific, sterile color palette for the office scenes to highlight the pained contrast between Romy’s cold professional life and her gritty, visceral affair.• To keep the chemistry honest and the actors safe, the production utilized an intimacy coordinator for all the pained, high-stakes physical encounters between Kidman and Dickinson. THE VIBE Like a silk tie tightened too hard. It smells of expensive perfume, cold air conditioning, and the metallic tang of a digital elevator.
