Nightbitch

Nightbitch may win the award for the weirdest film concept of the year.

This film, based on the book of the same name by Rachel Yoder, tells the story of a mum who starts to think she’s turning into a dog. Yes, really!

Adams plays a lonely, depressed and frustrated mother who is mourning her former life as an artist. She gave up work to raise her son (played by twins Arleigh and Emmett Snowden) full-time but can’t stand the isolation, the exhaustion, the monotony and the lack of intelligent adult conversation as a stay-at-home mum.

The mother, who remains unnamed, is resentful of her husband (Scoot McNairy) because his life has barely changed since becoming a parent and he is still able to come and go as he pleases. He doesn’t realise how hard being a mum is and therefore doesn’t help as much as he should.

Nightbitch, written and directed by Marielle Heller, presents one of the most honest and realistic screen depictions...
