Once an artist in the big city, now a stay-at-home mother raising a toddler in the suburbs whilst her husband travels the world with work. A woman (Amy Adams) slowly embraces the feral power deeply rooted in motherhood and the desire for liberation from her new cage.
Adapted from Rachel Yoder’s acclaimed 2021 novel, Marielle Heller’s fearless direction puts a fierce Adams at the forefront in a career-defining performance, that uniquely examines the dark aspects of motherhood we rarely discuss.
All screenings will be followed by an 8 minute prerecorded Q&A with director Marielle Heller.

“Adams is already a six-time Oscar nominee: it’s very possible that for this, she could finally nab one outright.”
The Telegraph
“It is piercingly honest, remarkably sardonic, and breathtakingly brave in the way it lays bare some of women's deepest struggles and truths.”
Entertainment Weekly
“Resembling a bonkers marriage of “Young Tully” and “Teen Wolf,” and led by a ferociously naked and unafraid performance by its star, it’s an amusingly incisive howl of maternal pain, frustration, disappointment, resentment, and feral strength.”
