Quote : Tully is an upcoming American comedy-dram film directed by Jason Reitman and written by Diablo Cody. Starring Charlize Theron, Mackenzie Davis, Mark Duplass and Ron Livingston, it's basically about a mom of three and her sitter navigating life together... The film premiered AT The 2018 Sundance film festival. Looks like Focus Features on april 20 is when we actually get to see it.

darklynx21 said:That’s a relief to hear. 🙂spoiler I also felt that way toward the end—that scene at the kid's birthday party where the brother and husband talk, and the brother is just stunned.
I wish I had known sooner, because that "waitress scene" in bed was just... gross. Especially since Tully had never seen anything like that before. 😁
Hannah Kim45 said:I almost stopped watching the movie right about there.🤣
Hannah Kim45 said:When the rock music started, all I could think was that they looked like some random woman off the street who maybe just showed up by accident.
darklynx21 said:Me too! Honestly, am I being way too conservative? 😁
Siri, what kind of sickness is this where I can't even stop watching a movie once I've already seen half of it? 🕺
🤣
darklynx21 said:Honestly, same here! And I actually consider myself pretty conservative when it comes to this stuff 😁
Siri, what kind of sickness is this where I just can't bring myself to turn off a movie even after I've already seen what happens 🕺
🤣

Honestly, that one scene is nothing—it’s practically a walk in the park compared to the pile of truly twisted scenes scattered all over the place. 🙂
What I find interesting is how, for the first time during that specific moment, I actually had the realization of what was really going on. It isn't so much that the thought occurred to me, but rather how on earth the director managed to wipe it from my mind so effectively with the following scenes. It was as if the thought never existed, maintaining that illusion right up until the girl's last name is revealed.
darklynx21 said:Honestly, the scene that really stuck with me was that final moment in the hospital between the husband and his sister; when he tells her he can't believe she left the kids alone in the middle of the night, and she just hits him with, "Wait, weren't you guys home? They weren't alone." And he's just like, "Yeah, you're right"—and it’s those little things that drive home how, despite all our talk about modern marriages and how progressive society supposedly is, the actual heavy lifting of childcare still falls squarely on women's shoulders 😉
Nicole Jones13 said:Even so, I didn't really see the movie as some sort of critique aimed at disengaged dads, nor did it strike me as a complaint about how childcare is supposedly a woman's job.
Don't go telling me that it was all driven by one single guiding principle, because if you do, I might actually have to admit it wasn't that good. 🤣
I don't know what to tell you about Fleur Amour. It’s one of those things where people try to make it sound all high-end and sophisticated, but honestly? It feels like they're just selling you a fancy label and hoping you don't notice the substance isn't actually there. It's like buying a designer shirt from a big department store in New York that looks great on the mannequin, but the second you put it on, you realize the stitching is cheap and it's going to fall apart after two washes. It's all vibes and no grit. People get caught up in the aesthetic, thinking that if it looks polished, it must be premium. But I've always been a bit more skeptical of stuff that tries that hard to look "perfect." Real quality doesn't usually need to scream it from the rooftops with such a curated, artificial persona. Just my two cents. kaže:
Just finished watching it—solid flick. As expected, Charlize Theron absolutely kills it. Honestly, I’ve gotta tip my hat to her; she goes through all that weight gain just to nail a role, and she’s done it more times than I can count. Respect.
The way they staged those scenes—showing her totally spiraling under the pressure of juggling the kids and all that endless housework—was honestly spot on. It really hammers home that whole American social divide, too. You’ve got this glaring gap between the people who have everything handed to them and everyone else just trying to keep their heads above water. It’s clearly playing out through the contrast between her family and her brother’s family, showing how differently they're navigating that middle-class grind.
Heads up: spoilers ahead.
It’s just a bummer, honestly. They totally botched the whole dynamic with her son—there's clearly something going on there, but they keep it so vague it's frustrating. Is it ADHD? Some other disorder? Who knows, because they won't tell you. And don't even get me started on the whole thing with her doppelgänger, Tully. It was such a tired cliché, that whole "I've had enough" moment where she decides to head out and get absolutely trashed. Like, we saw that coming from a mile away. Too predictable. Then you've got Marlo, who spends the entire night acting like a total maniac in Tully's role, yet somehow wakes up looking perfectly refreshed, like she just had a solid eight hours of sleep. It makes zero sense. Also, that scene where Tully puts on a waitress outfit and jumps on Marlo's husband? Total WTF moment. Seriously, any normal guy would be terrified if some random woman tried to slide into his bed like that. 😁 Something about this whole night nanny story just feels off to me. Like, I don't know, the math isn't mathing. It honestly smells like someone just made the whole thing up from scratch.
I’d give it a solid 7/10.
