Fans of the 2001 romance film were blown away by the fact, with one user writing on X, "I really hate nepo babies getting big roles... but as someone whose life was saved + defined by Moulin Rouge, there is something immensely satisfying about Ewan McGregor's daughter playing Nicole Kidman's daughter. The Christian/Satine baby we never got."

In the erotic thriller, Nicole stars as Romy, a powerful New York executive, who's married to a theatre director (Antonio Banderas), but things are not as perfect between the couple as they seem. Then comes Samuel (Harris Dickinson), the company's new intern, who works under Romy and makes his attraction clear. What follows is a forbidden relationship between Romy and Samuel.

Fans of the Aussie star were quick to share their support for the film, with one Instagram user writing, "I saw this at #TIFF24 and it was excellent. Oscar nom incoming!"

"Love that Nicole is in so many things at the moment... 👏," another said.

"Nicole going for her 2nd Oscar," a third added.

"Is Nicole on every project? I am so here for it! 🙌," someone else wrote.

"Nicole can do NO WRONG! 🔥❤️," yet another added.

In an interview with Vanity Fair this week, Nicole said she is nervous for the film to be released as she believes it is the most "exposing" film of her career. Babygirl is set to premiere at the Venice International Film Festival, with the star saying she's unsure whether it will be the best place to watch it for the first time.

"There’s something in me going, 'Okay, this was made for the big screen and to be seen with people,'" she says. "But then I’m like, 'That’s a high-wire act. I’m not sure I have that much bravery.'"

"I’ve made some films that are pretty exposing, but not like this."

Director Halina Reijn says that it's a "really hot movie", telling the publication, "I know we accomplished one thing, and that is that we made a really hot movie."

"I don't know about good, bad — that’s up to everybody — but I’m sure of that."
