When your inner beast is... real?! 🐺Amy Adams is BACK and how! In Nightbitch, she plays a stay-at-home mom in American suburbia, slowly convinced she’s turning into a dog . Like, tail-wagging, meat-craving, full-moon type crazy. But is it madness—or is it liberation?

The film just premiered at Locarno Film FestivalĀ on 2 August 2025, and is already sparking feminist and surrealist buzz. Directed by Marielle HellerĀ (who gave us A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood), NightbitchĀ blends creepy visuals with biting satire. šŸ“½ļø

Context: What even isĀ Nightbitch?šŸ–Šļø Based on Rachel Yoder’s 2021 novel (a surprise bestseller), the story is a surreal take on modern motherhood. It shows how society cages moms into "perfect woman" roles—until one day, the wildness inside just breaks free.

It’s Black SwanĀ meets FleabagĀ meets Werewolf Woman, all wrapped in suburban IKEA wallpaper vibes.

Winners & Losers? Amy Adams—finally back in awards buzz after years of near-misses (Remember Arrival, Hillbilly Elegy?). This could be her Oscar bait.šŸ“½ļø Director Marielle Heller—adds a bold feather to her feminist-filmmaker cap.šŸ˜®ā€šŸ’ØCensors & conservatives—probably won’t vibe with the bloody nipplesĀ scene or the metaphorical take on ā€œmotherhood rage.ā€

Why it matters to you, bro?Ā If you’ve ever seen your mom lose it at 9 AM or your girlfriend juggling 5 things and saying ā€œI’m fineā€ with dead eyes... this film hits. It’s not just about moms. It’s about how society gaslights womenĀ into losing their minds.

And it’s hilarious, scary, and freeing all at once. For Gen Z feminists and chaos-lovers—it’s a must-watch.

MediaFx Take:Nightbitch bites into patriarchy with a lipstick-stained snarl. It’s absurd, angry, and cathartic AF. We say, let the dogs out. 🐾
