Nightbitch
Nightbitch
A woman, thrown into the stay-at-home routine of raising a toddler in the suburbs, slowly embraces the feral power deeply rooted in motherhood, as she becomes increasingly aware of the bizarre and undeniable signs that she may be turning into a dog.

Amy Adams really owns this role and it’s really nice to see her in a movie that is actually good again, even if it’s not quite the homerun I was hoping for. Nightbitch manages to capture a lot of the humor and sadness of the realities of what it means to become a mother—societal expectations, marital expectations, and even more so the sheer physical toll it takes on bodies. I think any parent or co-parent is going to find a lot of this film hit home. As a film, though, I felt like the last act was way too overt with it’s themes resorting to a lot of voiceover from Adams to reveal her interiority. Would have paid $$ to see what she could do to a walnut though.
