    Zero Day

    ★★

    One of the Zero Day creators is a Pulitzer- winning journalist, who writes non-fiction for major U.S. news channels.

    Babygirl

    ★★

    The only good thing about BabyGirl is Nicole Kidman's ability to make credible her lead role as a global CEO. This very public CEO has hidden since childhood an insatiable sexual perversion... and it finally becomes impossible for Ms. Kidman's character to keep this a secret.
