The lonely grind of parenting takes feral form in Marielle Heller’s pointedly primal new film
So then: Nightbitch. Quite the title, isn’t it? The name evokes cult mayhem, and in no way a wry comic portrait of new motherhood starring the chipper Amy Adams. In practice, that blunt middle finger translates to a light spatter of horror. Teeth sharpen; things end badly for local wildlife. But the real terror lurks elsewhere. We have a parent-and-toddler singalong to get to. Now, I am not a mother — a caveat that feels like it should be said out loud.
Enter Nightbitch: a raging inner self that takes literal canine form. First comes a heightened sense of smell, then a tail. A full metamorphosis leads to animal abandon. “Is it friendly?” her son asks of a new dog friend. The question hangs over the movie too. In the face of some eye-catching physical changes, you might be reminded of The Substance, this year’s lurid body horror in which Demi Moore showcased the plight of older women in Hollywood. And Nightbitch almost plays nasty too.
