We got sideboob in The Favorite so sounds like they went further.

Didn't we get whole-boob in "The Favorite"? There were a couple of quick flashes, not that I wanted to see that.

The costumes in that movie were so fantastic that I wanted to see more and more of the clothes!

Whole boob. Though she doesn’t have much.

I saw this and yeah, so true. I wasn't expecting much and I was still surprised by how little she had up top. And yet she shows her basically non-existent boobs in like every other scene. By the end I was quite impressed.

As much that I love to seen my favorite actress these days nude, I hope Yorgos didn't do Damien Chazelle mistake in Babylon (although it's still good movie), when he thought more shocking value scenes will make the movie inevitably better.

Oh, I have a feeling it's heading in the wrong direction from the few seconds I saw in the trailer. Anyway, I haven't watched the movie yet, so I will share my opinion after I do.

he is just a discount Lars Von Trier

these kind of movies and scenes only works if the movie has a great plot... and this one does not.

American actress trying to win awards and "prove herself" by going the European route.

Robbie isn't going to get an award for Barbie with this movie coming out also.

Until she regrets it one day, like a bad tattoo. But of course he doesn't care.

Neither do her fans.

YOUR DEFINITION OF "FANS" IS CORRUPT.
