Summary

"Nightbitch" had its world premiere at the 2024 Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF), where it received solid reviews for its writing and Amy Adams's performance. Adam was presented with the Tribute Performer Award at the film festival and has since been nominated for Best Leading Performance by the Independent Spirit Awards. Director/Writer Marielle Heller was kind enough to spend a few minutes speaking with us about her work on the film, Adams's performance, the film's themes of motherhood, and more. Please take a listen below and be sure to check out the film, which is now playing in theaters from Searchlight Pictures and is up for your consideration for this year's Academy awards in all eligible categories, including Best Actress and Best Adapted Screenplay.
