Enter the vibrant, zen Tully, and it's obvious why Marlo begins to rely on Davis is wonderful; she's a fabulous, evocative actor.
Expect frequent strong language ("f--k," "s--t," "a--hole," "retarded," etc. Tully is a return to form for both director Jason Reitman and writer Diablo Cody. Director Jason Reitman and writer Diablo Cody first collaborated on the filming of her debut script JUNO in 2007. frankly, Charlize Theron's performance was great, and she's definitely a creative actress. There are also times when Diablo Cody's trademark sardonic dialogue veers into overwritten territory, with characters saying things that feel too much like script-talk - "I'm like Saudi Arabia; I have an energy surplus." That one is richer, deeper and strangely beautiful. Was this review helpful?

I thought that Arnold Schwarzenegger's portrayal of pregnancy and motherhood in Junior was far more convincing than Charlize Theron's in this film. As with much of life, there is a bit of laughter, a touch of drama, and a dash of most every emotion.
And her life changes after first night of good sleep - and she and has a new friend too. But the themes they explore in the film are highly relatable for anyone whether they have kids or not. Was this review helpful? Unfortunately it is also the least enjoyable movie they have made together. Do you agree? Tully, we find out later in the film, is Marlo's maiden name, when she arrives she is much younger than expected, they hit it off like best pals despite the age difference, Marlo said she didn't want a stranger in the house at night and yet she trusts this young girl immediately, her husband doesn't even go downstairs to meet the nanny, when the car crashes into the water Marlo is alone in the car....there are endless clues that Tully doesn't exist. I have a six month old baby and mine too was unplanned. Diablo Cody took a darker turn from Juno with Young Adult, which was darkly hilarious, and she again took a stark subject and sprinkled it with hope and a bit of whimsy. 168 out of 259 found this helpful. Tully is a return to form for both director Jason Reitman and writer Diablo Cody. Was this review helpful? I loved Diablo Cody's writing - again. Parenting dramedy entertains but unlikely to appeal to kids. The added stress of a newborn, a special needs kid and a darling girl tries to keep up. It's clear Marlo is/was bisexual. This is what it's like to be a mother and I've heard some people in reviews say the movie was boring well guess what?
This is real. With cunning self-awareness, it utilizes the "manic-pixie-dream-girl" trope to show our lustful desire for our own past. I suppose "Tully" is Reitman and Cody trying to be a little more realistic. Charlize was great, as always, and Mackenzie Davis was magical.

I don't know what they were trying to convey with this film except that people create their own problems and want me to pay attention to it!
do they think that this is the best movie ever?!!!! But anyway despite Theron being watchable and the stuff of male fantasy given her thin nubile appearance the movie was mostly boring and psychotic. Why does he say he understands it might be a "bougie" thing to do, but it will still help Marlo postpartum? Greetings again from the darkness. But it is the way the narrative has been framed and the unexpected climactic reveal that leaves this film lingering in your memory long after its viewing. Tully explores the "duality of woman", specifically the juxtaposing intricacies of what can make someone both a stable mother and simply an older version of their youthful leanings. Featuring great performances, an unflinching and engrossing look on motherhood and a witty, acerbic script. Yes Charlize is thin and has a good face, but we are all so excited because we have been suffering from hollywood's attempts at stuffing us and its films with ugly actresses and are conditioned by now.
