Marielle Heller once again proves to be one of cinema’s most exciting filmmakers, with this fabulous genre-bending exploration of motherhood.

Mother (Amy 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, 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’.

Adams and Scoot McNairy offer fearless performances as the modern couple. But this is a tale for the sleepless and Adams gives a career best performance, embracing the heightened emotions of her character.
