Reader most likely already knows what the movie's about, so. Positives: (1.) That Charlize would gain fifty pounds to make the character is way beyond duty. Fooled me, I thought it was very good prosthetics - and would have been healthier for her. (2.) Script topic was unusual, but important. Well written, and well acted by all. The lack of discussion about pro help was not important as most low income and/or educated and/or rural persons that's not an easy viable option. Negatives: (1.) As seems to be the norm in movies that show teachers and administrators they are portrayed as self-centered, unknowing, little caring, few scarifies, dumpkoffs. Still the stereotype. (2.) Tully was a little too unrealistic in many ways such that at one point I thought she was a mental illness/breakdown imaginary creation of Charlize's character. But, enjoyable whether real or not.

Charlize Theron takes on the role of playing a mother of three in need of a revival. She shines in the role as she always does of riding the emotional rollercoaster in being a mother. With highs few and far between, writer Diablo Cody really took a deep dive into motherhood, not fully capturing what it's like to be a mother, but more of a take on how hard it can really be. How tired moms get, and how many responsibilities that they have to keep up with. This is shown off with her take on the idea of a night nanny, a young woman who comes in and helps out where she needs help. Which really is just showing the problems of being maybe not an absent father, but definitely not a very helpful father. With this new night nanny Marlo, played by Theron, hopes to have her life's stress to go away and for peace to fall upon her. From al of the biopics that comes out these days, there was so many indicators that this would be a biopic of a mother, one that has surprisingly not been done very well in the past. However, Cody decides to go down a more theatrical and dramatic take. With the addition of Tully in her life, the story takes many different turns and travels further past bio-pic and more into a dramatic almost thriller.

In the bonus segment of the DVD of "Tully," the director described the film's theme as turning the page of life and saying "good-bye to your youth." The clear implication was that for the protagonist named Marlo Moreau, having babies and raising a family is synonymous with giving up one's ideals, goals, and dreams. This strange concept was borne out in the film with so much time spent in the mundane details of parenthood, including long scenes dealing with breast-pumping and breastfeeding, sleepless nights, fighting traffic with a screaming kid in the car, dealing with the school principal, and other issues that every parent has to face.After discussing the grim realities of child rearing, the film artists in the special features section of the DVD praised one another for how brilliant they were as actors, screenwriter, and director. But the proof of the brilliance is in the final product, and "Tully" turned out to be a dud.The main problem was in the title character of Tully herself, a "night nanny" who is brought in as a relief pitcher to assist the beleaguered mother Marlo, who has just delivered her third child. After child #2, Marlo had major coping problems, and it turned out that the kid Jonah was "quirky," leading to his dismissal from school and a lot of denial on the part of the parents.Marlo seems to lack patience with everyone and is "tired" all the time. The visual image that recurs in the film is of Marlo drowning. To get Marlo some much needed rest, she and her husband decide to bring on the night nanny. A crucial reference early in the film is to Brooklyn where Marlo grew up in the Bushwick neighborhood. Eventually, she will pay a visit to her old stomping grounds, get drunk on "neat" bourbons, steal a bicycle, take a walk down memory lane, and make the stupid decision of trying to drive home. The puzzling figure in the film is Tully. As a paid helper, Tully provides far greater "services" to both parents than merely looking after their kid. Eventually, the filmmakers play a trick on the audience with the character Tully. SPOILER ALERT: It turns out that Marlo's maiden name was Tully, and the Tully character is a mirror image (or fantasy) of Marlo's lost youth. But was there really a night nanny in the home? Did Tully appear only in Marlo's imagination? Or was there an actual nanny that became distorted in Marlo's mind as her youthful döppelganger? This narrative made no sense because the husband knew about the night nanny and acknowledged her presence. Clearly, the filmmakers were shamelessly manipulating the viewers without ever providing closure on the plot trick.Early in the film, there was an offhand reference by Marlo that her life seemed like a Lifetime movie. But it turned out that was precisely what this film was all about as a big-budget Lifetime-style film, leading the audience astray to be bushwacked in Bushwick.

TullyThe best thing about having a nanny is they get all the flak from the mommy shamers at the playground.Mind you, the mommy in this dramedy would just be happy with some shuteye.A middle-age mother of two, Marlo (Charlize Theron), is straddled with an unplanned pregnancy and an inattentive husband (Ron Livingston). Unable to cope with the lack of sleep, Marlo hires a young night nanny, Tully (Mackenzie Davis), to tend to her babe while she rests. Auspiciously, Marlo and Tully share similar viewpoints which help Marlo get through her post-partum slump. But Tully is not exactly who she seems.Saved by an out of left field third act, this honest but sluggish portrayal of modern motherhood and marriage has its merits beyond the strong acting and twist-ending, but they're mostly all depressing.And, as with every nanny, you'll eventually have to fight them for your child's love.
