Amy Adams close up

Domesticity takes a surreal turn as Amy Adams takes on the beast that is motherhood in this hilarious dark comedy. 

Putting her career on hold to parent her young toddler, Amy Adams soon feels rudderless and disconnected from her former self. After a while, a strange yet empowering feeling begins to take hold which sparks a radical and liberating transformation.  

Adapted from Rachel Yoder’s acclaimed 2021 novel, Nightbitch is a modern feminist fable that plays on traditional tropes to examine the role of motherhood in a society where women still battle to ‘have it all’. Amy Adams fearlessly embraces her character with this career best performance. The film captures the magic and chaos of motherhood and marks yet another success for Marielle Heller (The Diary of a Teenage Girl, Can You Ever Forgive Me?, A Beautiful Day in the Neighbourhood).
