What to Know

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.

Georgia Evans Time Out The film thrives when it makes painfully accurate -- and darkly comedic -- observations on motherhood... [But] you can’t help but wish it dug a little deeper into the devaluation of women once they become parents, rather than just holding a mirror. Rated: 3/5 Oct 29, 2024 Full Review Caroline Siede Girl Culture (Substack) The film has righteous, relevant points to make about the burden we place on mothers [but] it makes those points so bluntly and directly that it starts to feel more like an essay than a film. Rated: C+ Oct 22, 2024 Full Review Robbie Collin Daily Telegraph (UK) From out of its sitcom-neat package, Nightbitch unleashes something primeval and wild – thought it might seem cuddly, hot spit flecks its jaws. Rated: 5/5 Oct 21, 2024 Full Review Stephen A. Russell Orion's Shoulder (Substack) Embracing the movie’s absurd mundanity with bite, Adams relishes a meaty role that unleashes a horror all too common: that of a woman forced by unfair circumstances to abandon her dreams to hold up her husband. Oct 31, 2024 Full Review Carla Renata The Curvy Film Critic Adams takes on the ferocious weirdness of this role with every fiber of her being layering this complex character with a little warmth, humor and sensuality providing a portrait of a woman whose emotional palette is full of contradictions. Oct 27, 2024 Full Review Erik Childress Movie Madness Podcast Before the book and before this movie there was another made by Marianna Palka in 2017 called ‘Bitch.’ Just see that one. Rated: 1.5/4 Oct 27, 2024 Full Review Read all reviews
