Amy Adams embraces an inner canine side in "Nightbitch," but her wildest role to date also puts new perspective on being a mom to daughter Aviana.

Playing a stay-at-home mom who believes she is turning into a dog, Amy Adams lets out a feral howl against the woes of modern womanhood in Nightbitch, a potent but uneven adaptation of the eponymous book by Rachel Yoder published in 2021.

Amy Adams tells USA TODAY’s Brian Truitt that working with small children in “Nightbitch” made her miss those younger years with her daughter.

Amy Adams stars as an artist and new mom who realizes she’s unhappy stuck at home with her son and wants to run and howl at the moon.
