Canina

Parts of the film work well, the dance of avoidance around marital tensions and festering grievances playing out in Adams’s expressive face.

Amy Adams dominates in Nightbitch, a wholly original take on primal motherhood.

...follows a stay-at-home mom who transforms into a dog to escape the everyday mundanity of motherhood.

Amy Adams is on great form in Marielle Heller's adaptation of Rachel Yoder's novel about a new mother who is alarmed discover she is turning into a dog.

...a funny and freaky and appropriately messy film that’s part broad outlandish comedy, part toe-curling body-horror, part feminist treatise.

...a provocative metaphor for.. ...the transformative experience of motherhood.
