Name: Nightbitch
Released: 2024-12-6
Cast: Amy Adams, Scoot McNairy, Zoë Chao, Jessica Harper

This film is, above all, a vehicle for Adams, who turns in a bare and unfiltered performance. It’s very much unlike so many of the characters she’s played before.

Chris Bumbray

Amy Adams has her best role in years with this sweet and surreal tribute to motherhood.

Nightbitch is a fierce, funny, kind of gross film about motherhood and all the changes it wreaks on the bodies, minds, and identities of the people going through it.

Amy Adams brings much needed heft to a film that might not be as put together without her in the driver's seat.

VisAbleBlackwoman (Medium)

Jeanine T. Abraham

Nightbitch is the lament and the battle cry of a white woman who decides to stay at home raising her one child while her husband works to support the family without a nanny.

The bittersweet bitch that is motherhood receives a full-throated howl in this darkly funny adaptation of Rachel Yoder’s 2021 novel [Nightbitch].

Jesse Catherine Webber

While Nightbitch doesn’t get all the details right, Heller’s approach is wonderfully unapologetic, and gives both director and star the space each needs to navigate the messy path of Mother’s ultimate return to reality.

Nightbitch doesn’t probe the broader societal devaluation that actually causes women to feel unfulfilled and unimportant in their newfound roles as caregivers.

It’s disappointing to see a film with such a weird premise as Nightbitch ease into an orthodox storytelling mode.

Adams goes practically feral.
