Babygirl Wraps Up Great Year For A24
Here is Reijn on what drove her to make Babygirl, in a genre that is typically told from the male perspective: "I really decided in the beginning, I want to make a sexual film, just as sexual as all these films that I've always admired so much, but now I'm going to do it completely through female eyes. What does that mean, and what does that look like?" And how Paul Verhoven helped cement the idea in her head: "Paul Verhoeven always told me I could only make a movie if I had a specific question. For this story, I wondered: Are we animals or are we civilized? Can we make peace with the animals inside of us? Is it possible for the different parts of ourselves to co-exist and, in turn, for us to love our whole selves without shame?"
Babygirl wraps up quite a year for A24, as they had a great run throughout 2024, with films such as Civil War, I Saw The TV Glow, MaXXXine, Sing Sing, and Heretic all releasing to great acclaim. They still have Y2K, Queer, and this to release before the year is over. That is a slate any studio would kill for.
