Primal screams
Writer-director Halina Reijn's unflinching study of female sexuality is bookended by orgasms, all captured in exquisite, unabashed close-up on the face of Nicole Kidman.

Nothing is faked by Kidman. She delivers a fearless, gut-wrenching portrayal of a businesswoman, wife and mother ashamed of the animalistic desires in her head - until an abuse of power with a male subordinate allows BDSM-charged fantasy to become intoxicating reality.
