my list is ABQST. Australia Before I Go to Sleep The Queen of the Desert Strangerland Top of the Lake S2 the failure of GoM (and can even came back from it) added lots of Kidman's legendary elements, miserable!! yet treasurely unique.. I blame Lionsgate's pathetic sells strategy to only keep the north America market and got fired their own butt, but she's diamond in it. Baz and Jane are her friends, they know her way more than us, but Australia and TotL2 didn't dig out her energy at all, waste of time. even though, the most hurtful ones are BTS., juicy twisted character, indie female director, a hell of a filmmaster, didn't bring anything. too many sandstorms, too little Kidman & film. BTS are the reason why she starts doing all the supporting roles. I mean if one of them, only one of them actually happened, her film resources in last 5 years were not like that for sure. these three hit her when she's down.

I recall when she landed Strangerland, it was in toronot film festival and she had just bumped into Kim Farrant, and they really hyped the pitch, I was expecting so much!
GRave of monaco, I never really had expectations to begin with and even though the end result couldn't have gone worse, I wasnt really disappointed more defensive yes, but not disappointed.
Strangerland hurt because despite Kidman doing a decent job, I just was expecting so much more and It didnt really deliver. B4IG2S I read the book and I had already envisioned the film scene for scene, the trailer was released and it looked ok..but the camcorder aspect really ruined it for me because despite Kidman nailing the emotional scenes, the second she went infront of the camcorder things just became silly.

personally I had high for the Goldfinch and i end up being disappointed, not because the movie is bad but just to think about the potential of it. wether its source material, director and cast. the critical reaction and box office returns were a huge failure. wish it went directly to streaming.

Movies from her filmography that I watched one time and never watched again, because are awful:
The Goldfinch The Upside (very forgettable) The Railway Man (Not bad, but simply not my cup of tea) Before I Go to Sleep Genius (very boring for me) Trespass Just Go with It The Human Stain
I save any other movie generally hated, Bewitched and Stepford Wives are fun. Am I the only one who loved Strangerland? It was so dirty, raw and fierce. Nicole was outstanding. I don't hate Queen of the Desert too, beautiful shooting, it's Herzog after all, bad script but deserve more consideration. HTTTGAP it's a little jewel.
Grace of Monaco it's another story. I watched this movie in theaters and a couple of times in DVD/TV. The hype for this was very high. I don't think it's a disaster, like everybody say. A little embarrassing in some scenes, forgettable, but not a trainweck. Nicole was good in this.

Some had good costumes, some good cinematography, some good performances. But Secret in their Eyes and Genius were so bad, that I had to stop midway. I would say even Just Go with It is better. There's nothing quite like Oscar bait gone bad.

I forgot Secret in Their Eyes. It was ok. Nothing special.
Another Nicole's flop that I think is good it's The Invasion. Except the ending, was interesting. I love sci-fi movies, Nicole was a good fitting.

There's nothing quite like Oscar bait gone bad. yes, really poorly made, agree with you completely. but the thing is, for me, I never got any expectation on these two. with diva Roberts, there's no way she'll save some juicy scenes to Kidman. and after BIGtS, any project with Colin Firth is dead to me before it begins. so if we talk about dissapointing, these two are not that hurtful.

I would also add Family Fang to my list so much promise! Such a great cast but film should have been better, it barely made a splash, I dont think anybody has seen it, sort of like it disappeared into thin air.

BIGtS cut even more Oscar moment scenes (in the book), and it's a mass.

It looked very dreary and felt very dreary. 6/10

Claudio Carpi has made a stunning Nicole's portrait on the set of that movie, that you can see in my profile picture. One of my favorite shot ever. I will be always thankful to him.

oh she has so many bad projects... like really bad films I can't bring myself to re-watch. the most disappointing in my opinion was GOM, that was embarrassing! it almost ended her career.
