Playing a stay-at-home mom who believes she is turning into a dog, Amy Adams lets out a feral howl against the woes of modern womanhood in Nightbitch, a potent but uneven adaptation of the eponymous book by Rachel Yoder published in 2021.
Adams' character, known only as Mother in the film, has given up a successful career as an artist to have a baby. Two years later, she is stuck at home in the suburbs with her toddler son (referred to only as Baby and played by cute blond twins Arleigh Patrick Snowdon and Emmett James Snowdon), while her husband, Father (Scoot McNairy), goes off to work which often takes him away for days at a time.
