Nightbitch (15)
Dir. Marielle Heller, US, 2024, 98 mins. Cast. Amy Adams, Scoot McNairy, Zoe Chao.
Mother (Adams) puts her career on hold to parent her young toddler. The transformation of her feelings, sense of self and relationship to the world spark a change in her that is as liberating as it is radical. Adapted from Rachel Yoder’s acclaimed 2021 novel, this 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’.
Heller (The Diary of a Teenage Girl, Can You Ever Forgive Me?), once again proves to be one of the most exciting filmmakers with this fabulous genre-bending exploration of motherhood and Adams gives a career-best performance.
