Tully

I think I’d cry continuously if I had to listen to that baby everyday.

I watched Tully last night at the SFFilmFest and all I can say is that y'all are in for a treat!

Jason Reitman directs another Diablo Cody script, and they nail it. It's a tale of how difficult motherhood is. How the pressures of family life can lead to such insane, stressed and disconnected times. Charlize Theron's performance is nothing short of amazing. She is phenomenal in this film. And also had to look the part too.

Although I'm a dad not a mum, the depiction of the whirlwind blur of parenthood really resonated with me....pretending everything is well to everyone, doing things that you think you should not the things you want. The routine, the monotony, the sacrifice of parenthood, it all culminates in an interesting 3rd act, which is a large tonal shift but a good one. This will be near the top of my Films of 2018 list.

For a while I really disliked this film. I hate movies that remind me of what I dislike about my own life (one of the reasons I hate Office Space but that's a story for another day). But then you begin to realize that the film isn't necessarily about that and that there is... more. Much more. Where the film ends up is extremely satisfying.

It was a genuinely surprising movie, with a twist that completely hooked me. I had some expectations when reading the synopsis, but I wasn't expecting a truly introspective tale. It may not have been the most profound story, but it was an earnest and raw one, with great acting going along this smooth-sailing work. As a whole, it was an enjoyable experience, and with that twist, I will be guaranteed to rewatch the movie and identify details I missed before! Again, bravo to the cast.

Dammit.. was hoping we'd get to see Charlize squeeze into that waitress outfit..even bet my ol'lady it was gonna happen...ugh..now..I..get to model it

I enjoyed this movie a lot more than I thought I would and Jason Reitman is a fantastic director as always. Charlize Theron gave a great performance just effortlessly it seemed, very unique concept and new to me at least.

A story about family and motherhood and the challenges of it. While I believe that the final conclusion of the movie is more than a bit one-sided, the movie itself is excellent. The acting performances by Therone and Mackenzie are just brilliant and make the movie work. The twist at the end is equally great. Watch and enjoy. Concerning the conclusion, make up you own mind.
