It is a coincidence, but one cannot ignore the memory of the song ‘Perra’ by Rigoberta Bandini after seeing the first trailer of night slut. A cassette in which Amy Adams seems to be postulated as a fairly serious alternative on the road to the 2025 Oscars. The famous actress stars in the adaptation based on the novel of the same name. Rachel Yoder published in 2021 and which deals with the complex process of motherhood of an artist, who interrupts her career to become a mother and housewife part-time. However, this will not be the only transformation of the character. Well, because of madness and frustration, he will take his side “wilder”.
Directed and written by Marielle Heller, night slut was first announced in 2020, before the novel itself was even released. In his description, Yoder describes the protagonist as an unnamed woman and former artist who is left to raise her two-year-old son, without the help of an absent husband (Scott McNairy). Given the lack of help and her husband’s extensive work travels, Adams’ role is deeply preoccupied with eventually becoming a dog. The official transcript of the story reads: “As her symptoms intensify, she struggles to keep her alternate canine identity a secret. Eventually, she is spurred into action after an impulsive and disastrous encounter with the family cat; “She seeks a cure for her condition through a multi-level herbal marketing scheme, a mothers’ group, and the guidance of a mysterious academic specializing in ‘mythic ethnography.'”
Heller is a director who has already shown us this female gaze, in projects like The Diary of a Teenage Girl eitherYou can forgive me one day? She also appeared as an actress in the role of Anya Taylor-Joy’s adoptive mother in Queen’s Gambit. The distribution of night slut is completed by Mary Holland, Ella Thomas, Kerry O’Malley and Zoe Chao, among others.

Heller has already recalled in a press release that adapting night slut was “a dream come true” and to some extent it reminded him of his first encounter while adapting the novel that would eventually come to fruition in the aforementioned film, The Diary of a Teenage Girl. With a dramatic backdrop and a wild comedy, it seems that Heller’s proposal will be one of those titles to watch before the end of 2024.
Will he finally win the Oscar?
The concept of the plot and the film in general may not seem of great importance, but everything seems to indicate that the performance by Amy Adams might be susceptible to a probable Oscar nomination. Above all, given the creativity around the role, the acting which allows the madness of the character and the very current subject of motherhood in the feminist sector.
In fact, the theatrical release could be a true reflection of the production’s intentions. If we add to that the history of collaboration with Annapurna as The Master, American Unrest And The vice of power which earned her two considerations for the golden statuette, the idea of seeing the American back in the awards spotlight would not be at all strange. Amy Adams is one of the few actresses who, after competing five times for the Oscar, has never managed to gain recognition from academics.
His cinematic future is just as promising. The performer still has to release the Netflix mini-series in 2024 Kings of America under the direction of Adam McKay, the filmmaker with whom he already collaborated on The vice of power. Continuing under McKay’s helm, it will premiere in 2025. Average height, average build with a stellar cast including Robert Pattinson, Robert Downey Junior and Forest Whitaker.
