Her husband, Bill, focused on his identity as breadwinner and an affair with a lusty co-worker, is as oblivious to Jill's growing terror that she will do something destructive as he is to the panic at his unraveling company. Meanwhile, dogs bark and howl through the night, as one persistent mutt continually stalks the family's yard.

Critic Reviews

Jeannette Catsoulis

Nov 9, 2017

As she did in her gentler but equally original “Good Dick” in 2008, Ms. Palka carves a black and biting niche between a man and a woman, a space where chaos and psychological unease demand to be reckoned with. Read full review

IndieWire Eric Kohn

Nov 9, 2017

Even as the high-concept premise wears thin, Palka manages to generate an unexpected degree of sympathy for the floundering couple, and the wordless finale allows for a complete transformation that extends beyond Jill’s bizarre condition. Read full review

The Film Stage John Fink

Nov 9, 2017

Fearless writer-director-actress Marianna Palka has crafted an bold, dark domestic comedy with Bitch. Read full review

Derek Smith

Nov 7, 2017

Initially offbeat, Bitch awkwardly pivots toward a more inspirational story of regret and reconciliation. Read full review

Guy Lodge

Nov 9, 2017

Acted and executed with brute conviction, if not much delicacy, by its writer-director-star, with an excellent foil in Jason Ritter’s boorish, baffled husband, the film feels overstretched in its latter half — with its central metaphor revealing only so many facets before the shock factor begins to pall.

Nov 9, 2017

While it’s refreshing to see a portrait of a woman’s unraveling that doesn’t romanticize mental illness, and that’s actually directed by a woman, it’s easy to wish Bitch probed a bit deeper into the protagonist’s pre-dog life. Read full review

It’s like a surreal, extreme version of “Bad Moms.” Read full review

the idea was good but it was terribly executed, it is one of the worst movies i have ever seen, i hate it, like i waste my time, and i was hoping that it will be good, but it wasn't. (Jaime King character was the only good thing)
