TULLY
Recommended. I detest little children and find babies revolting so for me the beginning was just about all the nasty stuff: the body fattened and deformed by pregnancies, poo and piss everywhere, sleepless nights, kids throwing tantrums, one of them being "corky" - autism rather than Down's syndrome in my opinion, having to cook for the whole family, breastfeeding, visits at school, a daytime job gets mentioned too. Charlize Theron is so realistic - looks and acts like a genuine knackered mother. Then Mackenzie Davis makes the spectacular entry. She's amazing as Tully, the night nanny. And it's her personality that makes the film. Several issues get tackled on the margins: "good" schools versus budget ones, life expectations, house chores sharing. Nothing is what it first seems to be. The movie just blew me away.
