‘Nightbitch’ is a genre-defying exploration of motherhood, identity, and transformation. Amy Adams is the heart of the movie, delivering a mesmerizing portrayal of a mother unraveling under the weight of societal expectations. Adams is emotional, fearless and unrestrained.
The film’s mix of humor and horror creates a bold, original narrative that dares to explore the primal instincts regarding modern motherhood.
Shadows are used to reflect the protagonist’s psychological and physical transformation. As Adams’s character evolves, shadows appear distorting her form suggesting otherworldly lurking beneath her surface and internal conflict.
Overall, the dark humor in ‘Nightbitch’ is bold and polarizing and it effectively underscores its satirical critique of societal norms. I thought it was a decent movie.
