The film is about Marlo, a mother of three including a newborn, who is gifted a night nanny by her brother. Hesitant to the extravagance at first, Marlo comes to form a unique bond with the thoughtful, surprising, and sometimes challenging young nanny named Tully
Critics Reviews:
- " As a portrayal of postpartum depression, Tully is a success-simplistic at times, but an admirable gut-punch nonetheless. " – *David Sims** (The Atlantic)
- " The emotions Tully surfaces aren't comforting, and they have less to do with the actual realities of motherhood than with the idea of motherhood as something that leaves you forever changed and cut off from your younger self. " – Alison Willmore (BuzzFeed News)
- " For those with an appetite for an early-summer movie with heart, but no costumes, “Tully” will take care of them, too. " – Brian Lowry (CNN.com)
- " In “Tully”, the cynicism about the supposed undiluted joys of motherhood rings true, or at least truer than in movies that don't admit such a station in life can be less than paradise. " – Peter Rainer (Christian Science Monitor)
