The life of an artist (Amy Adams, Arrival) is upended upon the birth of her son. Thrust into the life of a stay-at-home mother, while her husband (Scoot McNairy, Speak No Evil) enjoys the freedom of both a work and family life, she yearns to escape the prison of home living. But with motherhood in full swing, comes a visceral breaking with the mundanity of routine, as she bites back at life with a primal nocturnal transformation…
Amy Adams goes all-out in a career-best performance, candidly and absurdly conveying the pangs of parenthood in this wickedly satirical body-horror-tinged comedy from the great Marielle Heller (Can You Ever Forgive Me), faithfully adapting the acclaimed novel by Rachel Yoder.
