Review of Tully (2018) by Tim M — 21 Nov 2018
As a fan of Young Adult (also written By Diablo Cody and directed by Jason Reitman, and starring Charlize Theron) I thought this movie was going to be more of the same. A very dark dry comedy that leave you feeling uncomfortable but still stunned by Charlize's performance.
This movie is so much more. It is laugh out loud funny throughout the whole film, you completely feel for Charlize's character Marlo, you feel her exhaustion, but also her love for her kids. It showcases motherhood in a way that is relatable to everyone.
Mackenzie Davis is fantastic as Tully the nighttime nanny that comes to help out Marlo when her new baby is born. Tully's chemistry with Marlo is what keep the movie going, sometimes you need a friend in a time of need, even if she is only temporary.
This is a movie that is pleasant as you watch it, gets a little darker as it goes, and by the end hits you with emotion you didn't see coming, but you fully understand and accept. Brilliantly done and one you should not miss.
