❝Not to mention that the whole concept of motherhood that we are sold is such bullshit – you’re going to be expected to figure this whole thing out alone without any village to speak of, you’re going to get no maternal benefits from the government, you’re going to be mocked in popular culture, and there’s basically a billion dollar industry that’s designing products made to make you feel like you’re a terrible mother!❞
Nightbitch is a film that offers a refreshing take on motherhood, something every mother or mother-to-be should watch. While it draws from history, nature, and instincts to explore the core of motherhood, it also presents innovative perspectives on the subject. It conveys that to rediscover one’s essence, one must embrace renewal, accept change, and welcome transformation.
For me, Nightbitch was an incredibly enjoyable viewing experience. Of course, Amy Adams’ phenomenal performance plays a big role in this. In addition to its commentary on motherhood and womanhood, the film also makes sharp observations about relationships between men and women.
