I wanted the best for Nightbitch, Amy Adams, Scoot McNairy and Zoë Chao’s latest comedy/drama/horror film about a full-time mother whose daily life takes an unexpectedly surreal turn. 

I hoped director Marielle Heller’s film would be the good kind of quirky I didn’t know I needed. You know, the engaging and memorable – but in the best way type of movie.

The bad news is I found Nightbitch boring. I started watching it, then fell asleep for an hour. Upon waking, I wondered if I should quit altogether. I decided to wait another fifteen minutes before properly aborting the mission to complete. 

I’m sure Nightbitch has something worthwhile to say about motherhood. It just didn’t say it well enough for my tastes, since I couldn’t continue watching past the thirty-minute mark.

If you made it to the end of Nighbitch, I’m curious to know if you think I’m missing out.

Happy Film Loving,
