TL;DR:Amy Adams plays a mom who thinks sheās turning into a dogĀ š in Nightbitch, a genre-bending film mixing horror, humour & suburban mom chaos . Based on Rachel Yoderās cult novel, the film is weird, wild, and worth your Monday mood!

When your inner beast is... real?!Ā šŗAmy Adams is BACK and how! In Nightbitch, she plays a stay-at-home mom in American suburbia, slowly convinced sheās turning into a dog . Like, tail-wagging, meat-craving, full-moon type crazy. But is it madnessāor 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. š½ļø
Context: What even isĀ Nightbitch?šļø Based on Rachel Yoderās 2021 novel (a surprise bestseller), the story is a surreal take on modern motherhood. It shows how society cages moms into "perfect woman" rolesāuntil one day, the wildness inside just breaks free.
Itās Black SwanĀ meets FleabagĀ meets Werewolf Woman, all wrapped in suburban IKEA wallpaper vibes.
Winners & Losers? Amy Adamsāfinally back in awards buzz after years of near-misses (Remember Arrival, Hillbilly Elegy?). This could be her Oscar bait.š½ļø Director Marielle Hellerāadds a bold feather to her feminist-filmmaker cap.š®āšØCensors & conservativesāprobably wonāt vibe with the bloody nipplesĀ scene or the metaphorical take on āmotherhood rage.ā
Why it matters to you, bro?Ā If youāve ever seen your mom lose it at 9 AM or your girlfriend juggling 5 things and saying āIām fineā with dead eyes... this film hits. Itās not just about moms. Itās about how society gaslights womenĀ into losing their minds.
And itās hilarious, scary, and freeing all at once. For Gen Z feminists and chaos-loversāitās a must-watch.
MediaFx Take:Nightbitch bites into patriarchy with a lipstick-stained snarl. Itās absurd, angry, and cathartic AF. We say, let the dogs out. š¾
