Erotic thriller at Venice sees Nicole Kidman 'exposed'

She is 57 but according to the story can still keep viewers in a "a heightened state of anticipation."

I wonder if that is all viewers or only men?

More degenerate slop designed to further destabilise societiesn

Never understood the fascination with this woman. An average actress, with average looks. Anyone who ever saw Bmx bandits would agree.

Exaggerating much? not even the producers give that much importance to the film.

Many commenters have seen the movie.

Where?

I want to see to make my judgement.

"In that feminist reworking of "Frankenstein," actress Emma Stone shattered the norms of Hollywood modesty in her portrayal of Bella, a sexually voracious reanimated corpse who lives unashamedly for pleasure."

One of the most implausible sentences I have ever read, on so many levels.

So, in short, it's soft porn propped as "art". Got it.

I would pay to avoid seeing this.

I can't imagine what kind of men would fit that bill either. If the botoxed look doesn't bother you, that might be a start. For me, factchecker pretty much nailed it.

I even find myself in basic agreement with Hervé L'Eisa on this one!!

If there's something to be said about this story, it's about the scarcity of parts for female actors "of a certain age", and the desperate lengths they feel forced to go to as a result to "stay relevant/in the game/employable".

Nicole Kidman is a brilliant talented actress.

"An orgasm both opens and ends the film, with a roller-coaster of frenzied desire and psychological manipulation..."

I don't think I shall go to the cinema for this film; I really have got to clean Kitty's litter box...

As Hamlet said, "At your age the heyday in the blood is tame, it's humble, and waits upon the judgment". Nicole shouldn't be giving older women false hopes -- they would be better off buying a cat.

If Nicole Kidman walked into the rooms of so many learned commentators, they'd probably roll up on the floor like little kittens.
