Get exactly what you want. Despite being the high-flying CEO of tech giant Tensile, Romy Mathis (Nicole Kidman) is fundamentally unsatisfied – unfulfilled in her marriage to her thespian husband Jacob (Antonio Banderas). The arrival of handsome twentysomething intern Samuel (Harris Dickinson) pulls the rug from under her stagnantly comfortable living, as the two embark on a steamy and increasingly risky affair. As the young employee revels in turning the established power dynamic brazenly on its head, the steamy situation threatens to spiral dangerously out of control for the newly liberated Romy’s carefully controlled family life.
Nicole Kidman is at the height of her powers in this daringly provocative thriller from director Halina Reijn (Bodies Bodies Bodies), garnering her the coveted Best Actress accolade at the 2024 Venice Film Festival.
This rivetingly tense, intimately seductive character study, which compellingly explores themes of power, desire and embracing sexuality, is powered by the electric chemistry between Kidman and fast-rising star Harris Dickinson.
