Based on a novel, the author Robinne Lee told Vogue: "This was never supposed to be a book about Harry Styles. It was supposed to be a story about a woman approaching 40 and reclaiming her sexuality and rediscovering herself, just at the point that society traditionally writes women off as desirable and viable and whole."

Starring Nicole Kidman, 57, and Harris Dickinson, 28, the story follows Nicole as a high powered CEO who puts her career and family at risk by embarking on a "torrid" affair with the much younger intern.

Speaking about the film, which is set to be released in the US over Christmas and in the UK in January, one person wrote: "I don’t know if we have an A-list actress as adventurous as Nicole Kidman and her performance in Babygirl keeps that going. 

"It’s ferocious and volatile, feline and feral. Halina Reijn’s story of sexual dynamics and power shifts [expletive] rocks. Needle drops to die for."

Nicole is back again with this hilarious Netflix rom-com where she stars opposite Zac Efron, 37. The story follows Joey King as Zara, a personal assistant who detests her Hollywood star boss Chris Cole, only to discover that she has accidentally set the wheels in motion of him to fall in love with her mother, Brooke (Kidman). 

The synopsis reads: "It’s only a matter of hours before Brooke and Chris realize they have an undeniable chemistry, which leads to laugh-out-loud consequences as Zara’s egocentric boss attempts to woo her incredulous mother".

This hit Italian series follows Gabriella (Monica Guerritore, 66),  the owner of a luxury hotel on the Amalfi Coast. With three grown-up children, she finds a new lease of life after meeting Elia (Giacomo Gianniotti, 35), a charming and irresistable stranger who helps Gabriella rediscover herself - but for Elia she will put everything on the line, even her relationship with her children… and their inheritance.

Though we're cheating a little here as the highly-anticipated sequel isn't out until 2025, we had to include Bridget Jones' long-awaited return. This time in her 50s, Bridget (Renée Zellweger) is a single mother of two delving into the dating world, where she meets Roxster (Leo Woodall, 27).
