What is NightBitch worth, the new Amy Adams on Disney +? (critical)
A depressed housewife gradually matt in dogs … Between caustic chronicle and fantastic fable, Nightbitch is looking for her tone without ever finding it.
Funny film. Quite intriguing on paper. Directed by Marielle Heller (Manhattan counterfeiters),, Nightbitch Port a portrait of a leached mother (Amy Adams), an artist who has paused to take care of her two -year -old son full time, while the dad (scoot McNairy) goes to his professional occupations At the four corners of the country …. the routine of household chores and days that all look alike, the steep outings in the kindergarten, the personal aspirations which are slowly the trunk … The empathic portrait of this woman living maternity maternity As a prison is first drawn up in a mixture of tenderness and causticity with Jason Reitman, before the fantastic gradually invites itself into the story, when our heroine sees strange hairs pushing on her body and that ‘She understands that she is metamorphizing in dogs. It is The animal kingdom in suburbs or, in its most wacky moments, a bit like Lynette de Desperate Housewives made his little personal remake of Didier Between two trips to the supermarket. But the surrealism of Nightbitch is actually very timid, its too short delusional puffs, and the film falls very quickly in the ruts of the kind socio chronicle, the functional dialogues and the brushed secondary characters with large lines. For a fable that boasts the return to its primary instincts as the best way to apprehend maternity, it frankly lacks bite.
By Marielle Heller. With Amy Adams, scooter McNairy, Jessica Harper… Duration 1h39. Available on January 24, 2025 on Disney +
