TORONTO (AP) — The day after the premiere of their film “Nightbitch,” Amy Adams and Marielle Heller are sitting in a Toronto restaurant reflecting on all that went into, as Heller puts it, “birthing” a movie that captures some of the truest, rawest but seldom Instagrammed things about early motherhood.

Amy Adams talks about her role as a complicated mother — who turns into a dog — in Marielle Heller's 'Nightbitch.'

Directed by Marielle Heller, Adams' new film, a surreal domestic drama, has gotten a complex reaction. The actor is hearing from mothers who feel seen by the movie.
