NightbitchNightbitch

A 2024 comedy horror written and directed by Marielle Heller, based on novel by Rachel Yoder...

A woman (Amy Adams) pauses her career to be a stay-at-home mom, but soon her new domesticity takes a surreal turn. Based on Rachel Yoder’s bestselling 2021 novel of the same name Nightbitch, Marielle Heller’s follow up to A Beautiful Day in the Neighbourhood and Can You Ever Forgive Me? mixes drama, comedy and horror with a fierce and feral lead performance from six-time Oscar® nominee Amy Adams.

Combining bittersweet, offbeat humour with elements of magical realism and body horror, Nightbitch is a raw and unfiltered examination of the pain and power of motherhood. Heller reinforces her status as an original and inventive voice in contemporary filmmaking with another supremely entertaining and unforgettable movie-going experience.
