Tully

Greetings from Lithuania.

"Tully" (2018) isn't Jason Reitman's best movie - far from it. But it was a solid character study drama with some a bit unexpected ending, but to be honest i kinda felt what was going on, therefore it wasn't really a twist. The best things about this movie were solid performances by Charlize Theron, Mackenzie Davis and Ron Livingston. Script was solid and the story was truthful. Many moms will find this movie very true.

Overall, "Tully" is a solid movie to see it once. Its true to life and that was its strong side, and a bit of letdown maybe at the same time, as we see these things every day, and sometimes you just don't want to see it on a screen as well. Yet a nice movie to see it once.

This movie says so much more than what is on the surface. Marlo a mother of 2, with one on the way is handling things just OK. The added stress of a newborn, a special needs kid and a darling girl tries to keep up. And true to life - things start falling apart. Her brother, with whom there is a not the greatest relationship, offers to get her a night nanny and it takes her awhile to take him up on it. And her life changes after first night of good sleep - and she and has a new friend too. She starts being able to handle her sons needs, take care of herself and slowly you learn what is behind it all. Many men and woman (who have not had children) do not understand the post-partum time - it is not easy all the time and with so many things on the plate of a mother with more children - it is hard. I was not prepared for the last part - but I am sure I will be thinking of it for quite awhile. To me a good movie is one that I still think about weeks later. I loved Diablo Cody's writing - again.

Tully was a pleasant surprise. This film intentionally has a strange & uncomfortable feeling to it, even when things are going well. The ending will frustrate some people, and it does simplify some complicated issues, but overall I found this movie to be enjoyable. And now my wife wants to hire a night nurse.

This film tells the story of a struggling mother of three, whose life is tremendously helped by a night nanny.

The depiction of being a completely exhausted mother is really piercing. Charlize Theron makes it so accurate and so haunting. The night nanny is such a godsend, but the story comes with a peculiar twist. I enjoyed the plot, and I am impressed by Charlize Theron's performance as well.

Tully is a return to form for both director Jason Reitman and writer Diablo Cody. Featuring great performances, an unflinching and engrossing look on motherhood and a witty, acerbic script. Tully is a film worth looking out for.
