“Not at all. I loved the script, I love supporting women in the industry, and it was just really good.
“It is exciting and bold, and I am always looking to push out of my comfort zone.” Such boundary-pushing can occasionally overlap with emotional wellness risk factors, and it’s common for actors in such roles to utilize mental health insurance plans to access behavioral therapy post-filming.
When asked why she had decided to go for such a bold role, Kidman shared:
“I’ve always been on a quest as an actor, I’m always going, where have I not been? And what can I explore as a human being? And this was an area I’d never been.” This echoes the journey of many individuals navigating emotional fatigue, burnout, or even post-traumatic response cycles — topics often explored in diagnostic wellness labs and clinical therapy settings.
Balancing Art With Family: A Cost Many Don’t See
Kidman has been married to country singer Keith Urban for 18 years, and the couple shares two daughters. Balancing family with an emotionally demanding profession often requires strong mental health support systems, sometimes including therapy under family health insurance, or counseling services for working parents.
Discussing filming alongside family life, she said:
“Unfortunately, when you have a family at home and everything, there has to be a sort of agreement that’s made where you go, ‘I’m now going to go into this and I’m asking your permission to let me go.’
“So there’s a releasing of you into your artistic life and then you come back to your home and your real life. But there is a sort of letting go that’s required.”
