Critics Consensus

As far as adaptations go, Nightbitch packs more bark than bite as the stellar Amy Adams takes on motherhood and the neighborhood in a rather conventional romp.

Giselle Au-Nhien Nguyen

The Age (Australia)

Yoder’s rage does shine through, but the silly, slapstick nature of the metaphor made flesh is ultimately a distraction and a disservice.

Rated: 3/5

There’s a danger in critiquing the movie you wish a director had made instead of the one they did, but in this case, Heller did make a horror film and then backed off from the horror aspects.

Rated: 3.5/5

Director Marielle Heller takes the plunge into magical realism, opting more for that than horror. In other words, she doesn't force or lean into body horror...[Full review in Spanish]

The Straits Times (Singapore)

Adams is predictably good in her emotional honesty, even in a story meagre on the bones.

Rated: 3/5

Nightbitch struggles to find its tone and its direction, since it does not fully decide on either fantastic delirium or satirical comedy to finally embrace a more existentialist tone and a feminist streak. [Full review in Spanish]

Had so much potential to be good but ultimately went the way of “quirky millennial girl boss.” treated it’s viewers as if they were children and never went too far, very disappointing considering Amy Adams’ stellar performance.

good movie for moms, especially those who have gone through childbirth. Although I think all men should see this movie to get an appreciation for what women go through.
