Even as it is unfortunately shot with starkly bright lighting like it’s a generic comedy, more complexity lurks in the shadows. What makes it work more than anything is Adams who is, through the film’s flaws, giving a rather amazing performance.

Peter Howell

Toronto Star

Nightbitch is primarily Adams’ off-leash opportunity and she runs away with it, likely all the way to the next Academy Awards with her almost guaranteed seventh Oscar nomination.

Rated: 3.5/4

The Ringer

For all its gory sight gags and shaggy spirit-animal mysticism, the film winds up neutering itself.

Everything's Interesting

Nightbitch is a reminder that Amy Adams really is an exciting actress, one who can tear into off-kilter material with excitement and gusto, elevating everything around her. She’s having fun again, and sometimes that’s more than enough.

It becomes more thought and spoken than intrinsically felt, but everything on the tip of the movie’s tongue is already covered by Adams’ performance.
