“Typical Hollywood, kids suck,motherhoodis a nightmare, women are victims, and men are shit,” wrote one user on X.
“This looks like the worst movie of all time. And more anti-family, anti-stay-at-home mom propaganda from Hollywood, as usual.” stated another.
“Men andchildrenruin everything and keep us from fulfilling our potential, we are all goddesses, blah blah blah.”
Critics have praised the novel the movie is adapted from, considering it to be a powerful depiction of the struggles of modern mothers

“Pack it up, folks, Adams is winning Best Actress,” said one viewer.
“The tagline for this movie should be ‘Give her a damn Oscar already!’” stated another.
“I’d watch it just because of Amy Adams, but Night Bitch also looks like a lot of fun.” wrote one of her fans.
The actress has won two Golden Globe Awards, four Critics’ Choice Movie Awards, and one Screen Actors Guild Award.
Considering the trailer to be “utterly bizarre,” viewers were left unsure how to react, with some opting to forgo any seriousness and embrace the weirdness presented to them.
“It’s called NIGHTBITCH. Amy Adams plays a mother who turns into a dog at night. It’s the first film in the BCU, the Bitch Cinematic Universe,” jokedone useron X.
Another viewer had a better idea in mind.
“The bosses are saying movies are for boomers & want to target a younger, more hip demographic. We’re now turning NIGHTBITCH into a 6-part series exclusively on Peacock,” they replied.
A third user even put on their best “movie trailer voice” impersonation and created their pitch for the BCU.
“Each week, NIGHTBITCH goes to a new town and takes on a new persona; one week, she’s a sinner, the next a saint.”
“I am a woman; hear me roar. So original. Can’t wait,” wrote one viewer sarcastically.
“I love Amy, and I think it’s unjust she hasn’t received an Oscar so far, but critics are saying this is the movie that’s going to make her win one? Seriously? I don’t see it,” pondered another.
“This is so weird! Oddly, I completely relate to being a new mom at 40. Can’t wait!” said one excited viewer.

“Why is this trailer getting so much hate? Why are all the Oscar prognosticators in a rush to write Amy off? It’s Searchlight and Adams; they know what they’re doing,” wrote another, stating they were looking forward to the film.
The movie is set to premiere next Saturday (September 7) at the 2024 Toronto International Film Festival. A theatrical release will follow a couple of months later, on December 6, 2024, across the United States.
