NIGHTBITCH (2024): The Thing I…

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.

NIGHTBITCH (2024): New Trailer From Amy Adams, Scoot McNairy, Zoë Chao…

Read my spoiler-free movie review of Nightbitch (2024).

Directed by Marielle Heller; Nightbitch is a new comedy/drama/horror film starring Amy Adams.

With a supporting cast that includes Scoot McNairy and Zoë Chao, Adams plays a woman whose domesticity takes a surreal turn after pausing her career to become a full-time mother.

Erm… So, this is very unexpected.

I’m down for the humour and to see Adams’s ‘mother’ character let the rage fly. Also, the fact that where her character’s name would usually go on IMDb, it simply says ‘mother,’ seems like a statement in itself.

Fingers crossed this leans towards the quirky/clever/funny side rather than a tad too weird to keep watching. What do you think?

Mary Holland, Jessica Harper, Kerry O’Malley, Ella Thomas, Laura Meadows, Roslyn Gentle, Michaela Baham, Stacey Swift and Adrienne Rose White also star.

Nightbitch Release Dates: December 6th, 2024 (US)…

DISENCHANTED (2022): New Trailer From Amy Adams, James Marsden, Patrick Dempsey, Maya Rudolph…

8 Comments

From director Adam Shankman, Disenchanted is set a decade after happily ever after. A time when Giselle (Amy Adams) is questioning her happiness and inadvertently turning the lives of those around her, and the rest of the real world upside down in the process.

Additional key cast includes Yvette Nicole Brown, James Marsden, Maya Rudolph and Patrick Dempsey.

Disenchanted is that Disney movie that I never got around to watching. However, now that the New York City setting is clear, a dark twist seems to be on the horizon, and Maya Rudolph is involved… suddenly my interest has come to the fore.

Now I just need to finally watch Enchanted (2007). Finger’s crossed it will be fun.

Have you watched Enchanted? Perhaps it’s one of your favourites. Share your thoughts in the comments below.

Yvette Nicole Brown, Jayma Mays, Gabriella Baldacchino, Oscar Nuñez, Idina Menzel, Griffin Newman, James Monroe Iglehart, Ann Harada and Kolton Stewart also star.

Disenchanted Release Dates: November 24th, 2022 (US & UK)…

Based on the book of the same name by J.D. Vance; Hillbilly Elegy is a new drama starring Amy Adams, Haley Bennett, Gabriel Basso and Glenn Close.

Directed by Ron Howard; it’s the story of a Yale law student (Brasso) who’s drawn back to his hometown where he grapples with family history, Appalachian values and the American dream.

Close and Adams are really all the reasons I needed before saying yes to watching this. It also looks like Adams will finally win an Academy Award because this here looks like a truly brilliant performance.

Freida Pinto, Sunny Mabrey, Bo Hopkins, Dylan Gage, David Atkinson, Marcella Lentz-Pope, Stephen Kunken, Chase Anderson, William Mark McCullough, Jason Davis and Tierney Smith also star.

Hillbilly Elegy Release Dates: November 24th, 2020 (US & UK)…

Amy Adams, Gary Oldman, Julianne Moore and Jennifer Jason Leigh
are the stars of new Joe Wright-directed mystery/drama, The Woman in the Window.

Also starring Wyatt Russell, it’s the story of Anna, an agoraphobic woman living alone in New York. Anna begins spying on her new neighbours, only to witness a disturbing…

I’m in for the fantastic cast and all the mystery and darkness.

Actually, at first I thought this was going to be purely about one woman’s struggle with agoraphobia – which would have been fantastic. Still, I’m not too disappointed because this still looks great.

Anthony Mackie, Brian Tyree Henry, Liza Colón-Zayas, Mariah Bozeman, Fred Hechinger, Diane Dehn, Daymien Valentino, Milanee Gordon, Ben Davis and Jeanine Serralles also star.
