Charlize Theron and Mackenzie Davis breathe the miracle of life into the dark motherhood story of 'Tully'
"Tully": unusually hard-edged family dramedy or straight-up domestic horror flick? A few parents might find themselves wondering not long after Marlo (a terrific Charlize Theron), who doesn't seem to have slept in years, gives birth to her third child.
As the 4 a.m. feedings begin (again), the director, Jason Reitman, unleashes a tour de force montage that seems to last minutes, if not hours, a rapid-fire assault of leaky nipples and discarded diapers: Pump, nurse, change, toss, repeat. You'll laugh, you'll cringe, you'll reach instinctively for your wet wipes.
The story actually begins a few days before Marlo goes into labor, letting us observe the cycle of drudgery that her life has become.
