Nightbitch

Nightbitch
Eine Frau unterbricht für ihren Sohn ihre Karriere, doch schon bald nimmt ihre neue Häuslichkeit eine surreale Wendung.
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.
