Tully is the new movie played by Charlize Theron. She's not only the main cast, but she's also the producer of Tully. This is a personal project for her I think, this is quite different from all the roles she had played.
Charlize Theron plays as Marlo, a mother of two, and one is coming on the way. The movie was opened with a scene where she drive their children to the school. Her son, Jonah is not a common kids. He kicks over and over the driver seats because her mom doesn't park in the usual place. So, Marlo, with that big tummy, tries to calm her son first, but it didn't work out. The shouts and screams in the car was intolerable. So, she come out the car and screams as much as she can.
The situation between a mother and their children doesn't get any better day by day. One night, Marlo's brother, Drew, ask them to have dinner together. Well, Marlo brother is more successful than her, He has a big house, kids with their nanny's and living quite large with their expensive new car. So, as a loving brother, he decided to offer her a help, it was a night nanny.
A night nanny was nanny who comes from 10 PM at night, and help the mom to give milk, watch the baby, so mom could have their sleep. Marlo refuse it at first. But after a sequence of events, she finally accept the gift. This is where Tully comes, played by Mackenzie Davis. There something about Mackenzie Davis that draws your attention. She is not the gorgeous type that made you feel inferior, but she's the kind of interesting thing that your eyes just keep seeing.
Tully, showed up with a cropped shirt and a tight pants in her first night. Marlo just can't stop staring, as most female do, we just can't stop comparing one another. Eventually, they bond and became best friends. Marlo becomes more and more sane, and Tully just become Tully.
This is a movie that I think suppose to be watched between married couple, or couples who thinks about getting married. Having a family is not just another step, it's a giant leap, it's an endless hardwork between couples. If you forget to nurture it,you're going to lose it in time. Not to mention the sanity that you put on the line.
The movie builts in details, you will feel Marlo's problem. You will feel that kick in your heart and in your stomach. You will have questions about life, questions about roles, questions about "could you do it if you were her?".
This is an interesting movie, especially because I'm a mother of two. I feel her much to my bone. So, I give it 4/5 stars!
