Nightbitch Ending Explained: Ending Thoughts
Postpartum depression is real and according to the statistics, 1 in every 8 pregnant women show signs of postpartum depression. However, the issue is often neglected by the majority of the population since taking care of the newborn is considered to be the responsibility of the mother. Nightbitch sets an excellent example of how important it is for us, especially the husbands, to support and nurture their women in a phase as sensitive as post-pregnancy. The movie perfectly portrayed how the support of the husband changed Amy Adams’ character and she even embraced motherhood yet again without being affected by it. The initiative is beautiful and it would be interesting to see how the audience receives it.
