Nicole Kidman has played a wide range of roles on the big screen.
She won an Oscar playing Virginia Woolf, was the villain in "Paddington," and even played Aquaman's mom.
She next stars in the erotic thriller "Babygirl."
Nicole Kidman has done everything in her career from winning an Oscar portraying legendary author Virginia Woolf to playing Aquaman's mother.
In her latest movie, "Babygirl," she plays a powerful CEO in a kinky, illicit love affair with one of her young interns.
It's yet another example of her impressive range, which has captivated audiences for decades.
But not all of her choices have been winners. Though "Practical Magic" has found a cult following in the years since its release, it was largely panned by critics at the time. And "The Goldfinch," an adaptation of the beloved book of the same name, didn't measure up to the source material.
With the help of Rotten Tomatoes, we've broken down the 10 best and 10 worst movies of Kidman's career, according to critics.
Note: This list does not include movies that were released straight-to-cable or documentaries Kidman narrated.
