Tully

This movie makes me never want to have kids. As a single 27 year old male with no kids I don't relate to this story as much as some people. It seems like a straight forward story but it is so much more than that. Charlize Theron is fantastic. She really sold the tired mother and went all out gaining 50 pounds for this role. Mackenzie Davis is also great. She is a lot of fun. [spoiler]The twist when Tully is just her younger self really shocked me. I did pick up on just how similar they are and thought maybe Tully was just trying to be nice. This twist really makes the movie a whole lot better. Without it is would just be another typical mom story but to have protagonist saved by themselves is really interesting. It might be worth a rewatch to see what else I could pick up on.[/spoiler]

Damn, this movie is DEEP. So glad I went into it not knowing a single thing about it. Made it that much more enjoyable and the twist more shocking. Charlize is marvelous in this role. She conveyed every emotion perfectly and you feel her depression in your soul. Nowadays everywhere you look having kids is made to look so glamorous and so easy and anyone can do it, I’m glad this exists to show the ugly side of it.
