Amy Adams Goes Wild: The ‘Nightbitch’ Star on Barking, Growing Chin Hair and ‘Polarizing’ Viewers With Her Raw Look at Motherhood


Amy Adams knows her polarizing new movie "Nightbitch" is destined to be "love it or hate it." That's why she couldn't resist the challenge.

Much like Charlize Theron in “Tully,” Adams’ character’s break from reality ultimately helps her deal with the all-consuming weight of motherhood: She finds her pack (a group of other moms she once thought could never understand her) and releases years of pent-up rage toward her incompetent husband. On an unseasonably hot October day in the Beverly Hills office of Adams’ production company, Bond Group Entertainment, the actress looks classic in a white button-down paired with jeans and black mules, her hair pulled into a chignon. It’s the quality director Denis Villeneuve picked up on when Adams led his 2016 sci-fi film “Arrival.” “My first impression of Amy was that she was very thoughtful, intelligent, quiet, modest, cheerful and that she had beautiful, bright and incredibly expressive eyes,” he writes in an email.
