A TikToker has revealed the 'two things' they 'wish' they knew 'before watching' Nicole Kidman's latest movie.
If you haven't seen A24's Babygirl starring Nicole Kidman and Harris Dickinson and thought you'd use that cinema voucher you got at Christmas to treat one of your parents to an evening out? Well, you may want to think again.
Written and directed Halina Reijn, Babygirl sees Kidman star as a married CEO who embarks on a romantic affair with an intern and, naturally, this meant the film includes a fair few sex scenes.

While Kidman has emphasized how 'safe' she felt while shooting the 'vulnerable' scenes, she admitted to The Sun: "There were times when we were shooting where I was like, 'I don't want to orgasm anymore'. Don't come near me. I hate doing this. I don't care if I am never touched again in my life! I'm over it.
"It was so present all the time for me that it was almost like a burnout."
And it's in these certain scenes which left one viewer feeling a bit uncomfortable as a result of the circumstances at the cinema they found themselves in.
In a video shared earlier this month, TikToker Matt Giffen explained: "Two things I wish I knew before watching Babygirl.
"Number one, don't go watch that motherf**ker with a family member. It's basically an hour-and-a-half porn video.
"Number two. Don't make the mistake I made and go and watch that b***h in like a very small intimate movie theater where you're shoulder-to-shoulder."
Why? Well, spoilers ahead.
The TikToker notes there's a scene 'where she's getting [...] for like 10 minutes straight'.
He continued: "My kneecap was touching the old geezer's kneecap besides me.
"It was more awkward than what was happening on the screen, bro. I felt like I wanted to die, it was so uncomfortable."
Giffen adds: "Don't get me wrong, Nicole Kidman smashed it. That lad in the film, he's gonna be set for life. It was actually a really good movie."
He resolved: "Just two things to know: No family member, do not be sitting next to some random geeze grazing his kneecaps. Do not be doing it - from experience, trust me, please trust me."
And it's not taken long for other viewers to weigh in.
One TikToker said: "Bruh I watched Poor Things with a parent not knowing what it was about."
"Y'all don't watch the trailer first?" another questioned.
And a third resolved: "I WILL be watching this movie alone."
