Review of Tully (2018) by Bhbarry — 12 May 2018
“Tully” is the third film collaboration between writer Diablo Cody and Director Jason Reitman (“Juno”, “Young Adult”) and is another testament to the chemistry that exists between the two. The film stars Charlene Theron, Mackenzie Davis and Ron Livingston in this story of a suburban New York housewife and mother of two who is expecting her third.
It is fitting to review this film on Mother’s Day for it is indeed a testament to the role women play in both child bearing and child rearing. Ms. Theron gives an awesome portrayal as she struggles with physical and mental stresses that so many mothers face on a daily basis.
Gaining 50 pounds for the role, Ms. Theron proves that she is as talented and beautiful an actress at any weight. I give the film an 8 with a cautionary note to the viewer that the last 10 minutes of the film will make the prior 85 much more meaningful.
