‘Nightbitch’ Review: Amy Adams Goes To The Dogs In Sweet Tribute To Motherhood – Toronto Film Festival
A review of Nightbitch at the Toronto Film Festival where Amy Adams excels as a new mother having growing pains
Mother, as she is only known, has given up her career and dreams after the birth of Son (as he is only known) a rambunctious 2 year old (played by twins Arleigh Patrick & Emmett James Snowden) who wreaks havoc at any moment even as Husband (as he is known rather than father because he isn’t around much) tends to be blind to all of it. But librarian Norma (Jessica Harper) is somewhat mysterious and may be a unique character looking out, however oddly, for Mother when she gives her a copy of “The Field Guid To Mystical Women”, a book that will explain many of the answers to the most pressing questions she has, just to get through the day multi-tasking and getting no glory from it. As the trio of women eager to welcome Adams into their Baby Pack, Zoe Chao, Mary Holland, and Archana Ryan are perfectly matched, but also not caricatures as often seen in these comedies though not one of them can think of a downside of spending all day taking care of two year olds.
