# Review of Nightbitch 2024 movie By Theflixtor Motherhood is a bitch. That's the tagline on the teaser poster for Nightbitch, featuring a photo of Amy Adams looking sweaty, dirty and moaning. Her face is seen in close-up, sharply lit from the front against a dark background, her head cocked over her shoulders as if lit by headlights at night. You can stream Nightbitch movie on [Theflixtor tv](https://theflixtor.vip/). This is a film about a woman who goes through a difficult time as the mother of a small child, a very normal time in fact, and goes crazy enough to have a delusion that she's turning into a dog. And here she is, visibly frightened during her nocturnal dog-like prowl, presumably photographed for a split second by a random cryptozoologist. This is an extraordinary poster, the like of which I've never seen before. A hint of wildness unleashed in a woman who looks wild and otherwise... so... nice. In an entertainment ecosystem that too often reduces women to mothers, and motherhood to one-dimensional sainthood and one-dimensional villainy, this poster seems to say: I want to see this movie, because unfortunately Night Bitch is not the right movie. Night Bitch Amy Adams Maybe in her next life she'll come back as someone's spoiled puppy... Misleading advertising aside, I don't think expectations are too high for a movie that's going to rip your head off, because this movie and the Rachel Yoder novel on which it's based are so wild, impulsive, and angry. I read the book before seeing the film, and I thought it would be hard to adapt to the screen because it's so introspective. It's almost a stream of consciousness as the unnamed protagonist reflects on the career as an artist and curator she gave up for the relentless monotony of motherhood, and the wild freedom she now has. The ego of a foolish age is rediscovered. But it's not the introversion that writer-director Marielle Heller struggles with. This actually works very well on screen. There's a really great scene in the trailer. Adam's mother complains to her husband that she's miserable being stuck at home while he goes to work, a job that keeps him out of town all week, making her a de facto single mother, which is terrible. Son most of the time. He responds, "Happiness is a choice"... which, unsurprisingly, amounts to a slap in his face. And we get the second version, the reality that the Mother refrains from slapping her unsuspecting partner, swallowing his condescension and being kind instead. The book portrays Mather's mental state well, but it's also lighter in tone, as presented here, that undermines the feminist badmouthing of Yoder's book and even undermines Mather herself. The film Night Bitch does the same thing with Mather: he bites his tongue for fear of offending someone.
