GONE TO THE DOGS

AMY ADAMS STARS AS A NAMELESS MOTHER WHO STRUGGLES WITH ISOLATION IN AN UNSETTLING BLACK COMEDY

- DAMON SMITH

AMY Adams gives a fearless central performance in Nightbitch, a darkly comedic portrait of contemporary motherhood.

Adapted by writer-director Marielle Heller from Rachel Yoder’s 2021 magical realist novel of the same title, Adams is a stay-at-home mum who believes she is turning into a dog.

Her character, known only as Mother in the film, has given up her career as an artist to tend to her young son in the suburbs while Father (Scoot McNairy) casually goes out to work to pay the bills.
