Plot

A woman puts her career on hold to become a stay-at-home mom, but soon her home life takes a surreal turn. It was originally supposed to be released straight to streaming on Hulu, but strong reception from test screenings led Searchlight Pictures to give it a wide theatrical release. “Riding Carousel” Starring Alexander McCabe Written by Alexander McCabe.

However, I think the Father (Scoot McNairy) was definitely the one that stood out to me

Nightbitch is a 2024 supernatural comedy starring Amy Adams as Mom (yes, that’s the name), a mother struggling with all the little issues that come with raising children, until she slowly discovers that she’s turning into a dog at night, hence the film’s title . The film itself isn’t what you’d expect, I mean, sure you’d think it would be a physical comedy, but no, it’s actually more about the parenting aspect and the dog thing is kind of a cloak-and-dagger , so think of it like Big Daddy (1999), but it’s the mother and the dogs too. But I do think that the Mother is a fun and enjoyable person to watch with all her weird and reckless behavior and of course her views on parenting can be divisive but that’s what makes her such a wonderful character in this film.

But I’m definitely not saying it’s bad, in fact, there are still a few standout scenes that I won’t discuss here because it’s something that has to be seen to be believed

Every scene in the film that he was in was either hilarious or just downright dark and he never did anything nasty or bad, he just did what a father does best and that’s (trying to) raise his son. I think the film is definitely appropriate for parents and that kind of life in general because, I’m not a father and I think if you look at it from that kind of perspective, I think you would get a lot more enjoyment out of it than I ever will. Oh and be warned, the transformation sequences might be a little gross for some, but I thought they added a lot to how most mothers would think during this situation, and I actually enjoyed the way some of these scenes were portrayed, even if they did go up on the gross factor.

Rating: London Film Festival, October 16th

Overall, a great film, definitely watch it when it comes out for all the parents out there, and sure, it might have some weird sequences, but I suppose it fits into the surreal way of raising a child, so it fits in that sense . Highly recommended for anyone who just wants to escape and be free as a wild dog in general, but don’t expect R-rated Super Friends.
