Nicole Kidman has been on a roll over the past few years, starring in back-to-back movies. Naturally, her constant presence in the public eye has subjected her to both praise and criticism. This time, however, it is the latter, as fans are increasingly curious about what is going on in her life.

Referring to her recent film choices, fans have been actively discussing her roles on social media platforms such as X. One netizen on X shared:

"If I had a dollar for every Nicole Kidman movie where she plays a woman with an unsatisfying / dead s*x life and has an affair with a colleague in 2025, I’d have two dollars. Which isn’t a lot but it’s weird that it happened twice. Can someone check on Nic?" wrote one person.

That said, many aren't bothered by Kidman's association with a specific genre of movie. In fact, they want to see more of her in such movies and, if possible, in more mature romantic movies as well.

"please let me get what i want ( a lesbian rom-com movie starring nicole kidman and charlize theron, " said one person on the platform.
"need a nicole kidman rich lesbian white lotus storyline set in bali," another person said with a similar request.

Kidman's fans are particularly curious about the actress's latest activities, especially since she has worked on two films with quite similar themes. The movies are Babygirl, released on December 25, 2024, and Holland, released on March 27, 2025.

In Babygirl, Kidman plays Romy Mathis, the head of a New York City firm who is unhappy with her s*x life and has an affair with a young colleague. In Holland, she stars as Nancy Vandergroot, a schoolteacher who suspects her husband of keeping a deadly secret. As she tries to uncover the truth about her husband, she also becomes involved with Dave Delgado, leading to adultery.
