Tully

In Jason Reitman’s “Tully” (2018), Charlize Theron delivers a nuanced portrayal of Marlo, a frazzled mother grappling with the demands of a newborn alongside her energetic toddler and school-aged son. When her brother gifts her a night nanny named Tully, played with refreshing unpredictability by Mackenzie Davis, Marlo’s initial resistance gives way to a complex, often humorous, dynamic. Tully’s unconventional approach challenges Marlo’s rigid routines, offering unexpected relief and reflection on the chaos and joy of motherhood.
