Babygirl
PRAISE: A Character being seduced in a movie is definitely nothing new but Writer and Director Halina Reijn definitely infuses some new life into some well worn tropes as business woman,wife and mother Romy (Nicole Kidman),finds herself on the seductive path of intern Samuel (Harris Dickinson). I liked how Romy is presented at the start of the film. I could see her desire,being unsatisfied sexually making her fall into a well of seduction very easy. She's drawn in by the control Samuel wants to take of her. Turning her no's into quick yeses. So many moments click between Kidman and Dickinson it's incredible to watch the two in their scenes together and not just the erotic ones. I loved the moments that displayed Romys regret and desire simultaneously. Dickinson wears such a poker face and his character chooses so many angles i really didn't know what his endgame was until the end.I admire the commitment both actors had to their roles and the trust they highly likely had to have between each other. Reijn captures all the nastiness that can spring from an affair. As Romys husband Jacob,Antonio Banderas definitely is given a great moment to shine and Sophie Wilde as Esme is also given a powerful and realistic moment. I couldn't help but think about the 1986 movie 9½ Weeks while watching this and that's a huge compliment.
PROBLEMS: I couldn't get on board with how casual a character was about doing something especially with the scene that came before it. Actually there was a casual vibe between multiple characters that just didn't ring true to me.

Watched September 5 last night. Quite good & can definitely recommend it. It's easy to get through at 90 mins and is able to maintain the tension throughout.
The trailer makes it feel a bit more action / suspense in genre, but it felt like a more contained movie in my opinion. Pretty much entirely set with the production crew with the amount of in the moment multi-tasking teamwork and problem-solving they were trying to do
I wasn't bored because the pacing was steady and consistent, and it gets into the story quickly.

Starring Peter Sarsgaard, John Magaro, Ben Chaplin, and Leonie Benesch, the film chronicles the Munich massacre of 1972 from the perspective of the ABC Sports crew and their coverage of the events.[5]
