Motherhood is a bitch.

A woman, thrown into the stay-at-home routine of raising a rambunctious toddler, becomes increasingly aware of the bizarre yet undeniable signs that she may be turning into a dog.

Six-time Oscar nominee Amy Adams stars as a former artist turned suburban housewife turned dog in this witty, hairy adaptation of Rachel Yoder’s acclaimed debut novel (Best Book of the Year by Esquire and Vulture, 2021), directed by Marielle Heller.

More than a werewolf flick, Nightbitch sinks its teeth into the feral power deeply rooted in motherhood, making it a comedy for women, a horror for men.
