Review of Tully

Tully (2018)
7/10
what's real and what's not...

Warning: Spoilers
That's what you should ask yourself when watching this movie. I thought it was pretty good and had a twist that I could guess. Marlo is a mom of 2 expecting a third. Her son most likely has some form of undiagoised autism. She is very stressed out after having the third kid and her son's school wants to dismiss him. Her brother suggests a night nanny and gives her a phone number. After more stress and being so tired, she calls the nanny. What doesn't make sense is why the husband doesn't come down to meet the nanny on her first night. I thought that was very weird, but later it all makes sense. The nanny, Tully, cleans up and even makes cupcakes, and listens to Marlo. Marlo is getting more sleep at night and feeling better. One night, Tully says she has to quit and Marlo goes with her to the city to a bar on the last night. They get drunk and Marlo crashes her van in a river, but some how gets out. That's when we learn Tully was Marlo's maiden name and her vision of her younger self. There was no nanny coming over and Marlo was making it all up in her mind. What I didn't get is why did her husband never ask to meet the nanny or inquire how much she earned? Also was the whole conversation Marlo had with her brother about the nanny real, did he give her a real phone number?

FINAL VERDICT: An interesting drama that's not the same ole same old. I recommend it.
