Canina

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

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

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

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