“Motherhood has a branding problem,” writes Katrina Onstad, a podcast producer and novelist. In her essay about “Nightbitch,” a dark comedy out just last week, Onstad says that the film could have offered “a primal scream for this moment of maternal ambivalence, a stark confessional delivered with a healthy dash of ‘The Substance’ shock value.” Instead, “Nightbitch” does “something more surprising, more difficult and certainly rarer than laying bare the horrors of motherhood: It beautifully depicts the joy of parenting a young child.” Have you seen “Nightbitch”?
