Comedy. Drama. Thriller The tale of a woman (Marianna Palka) who snaps under crushing life pressures and assumes the psyche of a vicious dog. Her philandering, absentee husband (Jason Ritter) is forced to become reacquainted with his four children and sister-in-law (Jaime King) as they attempt to keep the family together during this bizarre crisis.

	Media	Author	Review
		Nick Allen rogerebert.com	"It displays her unique power as an actress while simultaneously showing her weaknesses as a writer and her potential as a director."
		Eric Kohn IndieWire	"Palka transforms an absurd premise into a chilling look at the destruction of the nuclear family with a vivid, snarling vision driven by the propulsive energy of its biting critique."
		Guy Lodge Variety	"More abrasive than amusing (...) Acted and executed with brute conviction, if not much delicacy (...) The film feels overstretched in its latter half"
		John DeFore The Hollywood Reporter	"An unfocused feminist allegory (...) What begins as an examination of middle-class-mom exasperation (...) turns into a more commonplace bad-dad parable"
		Cath Clarke The Guardian	"[It] offers under-developed characters and no insights (…) Rating: ★★ (out of 5)"
		Derek Smith Slant	"Initially offbeat, 'Bitch' awkwardly pivots toward a more inspirational story of regret and reconciliation (…) Rating: ★★ (out of 4)"
