In Marielle Heller's adaptation of Rachel Yoder's bestselling novel, weaponised incompetence is perfectly portrayed through Amy Adams and Scoot McNairy's characters. The film's exploration deeply resonates.
McNairy's character embodies the useless husband dynamic; he frequently tasks Adams with household responsibilities while pretending to be helpless, which encapsulates the absurdity of weaponised incompetence.
Adams’ character, a frustrated stay-at-home mom, encounters McNairy's character who weaponizes his incompetence, creating a dynamic of isolation and resentment, making it a relatable portrayal for many.
The concept of weaponised incompetence, which emerged in the workplace, is adeptly translated in Nightbitch, resonating with audiences by highlighting the frustration of unvalued domestic labor.
