Bitch

"Bitch" (2017) is a sharp American dark comedy you can watch online on iFILM, written and directed by Marianna Palka, who also stars as the lead. She plays a stay-at-home mother of four, ignored by her cheating, checked-out husband, worn to nothing by the daily grind. Then something in her snaps.

She stops being herself. She takes on the psyche of a vicious dog — literally, not as metaphor. Jason Ritter plays the husband who now has to hold the household together while his wife growls from the basement. Palka keeps the film balanced between pointed feminist horror and pitch-black comedy without fully committing to either, which is exactly what makes it strange and difficult to shake.
