Amy Adams Shines in the Surreal Motherhood Film 'Nightbitch

The dark comedy explores the primal instincts of motherhood through a transformative and symbolic journey.

Amy Adams stars as a stay-at-home mother navigating identity loss and isolation in Marielle Heller's 'Nightbitch.'
The film, based on Rachel Yoder's novel, uses a surreal transformation into a dog as a metaphor for the raw and animalistic side of motherhood.
Critics praise Adams' commanding performance, blending humor, physicality, and emotional depth to embody the character's journey.
While the film's unique premise and feminist themes resonate, some reviewers find its narrative and dramatic elements underdeveloped.
'Nightbitch' combines dark comedy, fantasy, and social commentary, offering a thought-provoking take on modern parenting and self-discovery.
