Tully (2018) Drama/Comedy 7/10
It took me a long time to figure out
what I wanted to say about this film. There is a fight club quality
to it, which I won't be giving away but making you aware of. Charlize
Theron does a great job as mum Marlo who just has her 3rd
kid and has a special needs son and highly active daughter. Her hubs
is often working so she is left on her own with the kids and he
rarely helps when he is as at home. He's an obsessive gamer. Tully
comes in as a night nurse to help Marlo. She's quirky, has lots of
'useless' knowledge, wants to help out in any way that she can. She
goes the distance to make some of the expectations, that Marlo has
laid for herself, happen. Ie. Being the mum that brings cupcakes for
the class, making awesome dinners, allowing Marlo to sleep and get up
when baby needs to be fed and then go back to sleep without
interruption. Tully is like this wonderful superhuman that is caring
and compassionate and all the things in between. Marlo becomes quite
attached to Tully BUT all good things must come to and end. I would
give this movie a 7/10 for the fact that the story has been done
before and there were some twists to make it different but it wasn't
anything to drop everything you're doing to watch this film. Charlize
Theron gained 50 pounds to play this role and then lost the weight
quite quickly to do promo for the movie. It takes a very dedicated
person to do that to their bodies when putting a prosthesis on would
be so much easier, so she definitely earned a point for that.
