Amy Adams Thinks She’s Turning Into a Dog in Surprisingly Feminist Trailer for Nightbitch

Amy Adams may have taken a break in 2023, but she’s back this year with some more projects, one of them the very surreal sounding Nightbitch—a movie about a woman who thinks she’s turning into a dog.

The film is set to come out this December, and Searchlight has just dropped a first trailer for what is a surprisingly feminist movie. Check the teaser for Nightbitch out:

Here’s the story synopsis:

One day, the mother was a mother but then, one night, she was quite suddenly something else. At home full-time with her two-year-old son, an artist finds she is struggling. She is lonely and exhausted. She had imagined what was it she had imagined? Her husband, always travelling for his work, calls her from faraway hotel rooms. One more toddler bedtime, and she fears she might lose her mind.

The film is actually based on a novel from Rachel Yoder, and is being directed by Marielle Heller, who was at the helm for films like The Diary of a Teenage Girl and A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood. She may not be the biggest name when it comes to auteur directors, but Heller has managed to direct some very heartfelt and moving films.

Admittedly Amy Adams has kind of been slowing down recently, especially after the release of the J.D. Vance biopic Hillbilly Elegy. Her last movie, Disenchanted, was the last thing she worked on, and it was her only film to come out in 2022.

Either way, I’m excited for a return for Adams in the spotlight. She’s always been a great powerhouse of an actress, and I’d love to see her tackle something with such a unique premise.

Nightbitch is set to release in theaters on Dec. 6.
