Nightbitch Movie | The Movie My Life

Nightbitch (2024), Amy Adams, Searchlight Pictures

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,

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)…
