10 Acclaimed Recent Movies That Audiences HATED
10. Babygirl
Though Nicole Kidman's new erotic thriller Babygirl wasn't universally raved-about by critics, it nevertheless scored a sturdy 76% on the Tomatometer, with even those who were lukewarm on the film generally praising Kidman's terrific central performance.
Yet general audiences were decidedly less enamoured with Babygirl, which was marketed as something of a kinky, sexually charged drama - basically a more upmarket, "classy" version of Fifty Shades of Grey.
But that isn't really what Babygirl is - it's a far more grounded and sedate film about power and pleasure that's decidedly less explicit than many likely expected.
That'd certainly explain why its Rotten Tomatoes audience score currently sits at a paltry 48% - the exact same figure the third and final Fifty Shades film got, notably - and landed a mediocre "B-" CinemaScore.
Nothing will make audiences turn against a movie faster than being sold one thing and presented with another, and that's exactly what happened here, even though with the right expectations Babygirl is a rock solid movie.
