A woman (Amy Adams) pauses her career to be a stay-at-home mom seeking a new chapter in her life and encounters just that, when her maternal routine takes a surreal turn.

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.

[A] snarling, on-the-wet-nose metaphor for parental transformation, but one that this surprisingly tender film puts to good use.

3/5

Amy Adams’ provocative performance deserves better, but in the end this ‘Nightbitch’ lacks bite.

"Nightbitch" is at its sharpest when it cares less about the generalities of every mother and instead focuses on this specific woman and her anxieties and sadness and tiredness and frustrations.

5/10

For most, Nightbitch will be just fine. However, those looking for a deeper take on women’s anger will be disappointed.
