As a mother who had a colicky, sleepless newborn, I relate to Charlize Theron’s movie “Tully” on an deep level. Baby crying. Middle-of-the-night wake-ups. A rocking chair. Pacing the floor for hours. Mothers unite!
And when morning finally comes and baby is at rest, mom’s exhausted fingers drop a smartphone smack on sleeping baby, and Groundhog Day starts over.
The ad proclaims “This is a story about motherhood in 2018” but everything looks about to change by the end of the trailer, when Theron’s character opens the door to a woman named Tully (Mackenzie Davis) who proclaims “I’m here to take care of you.”
Maybe her Fairy Godmother? All I know is I can’t wait to see “Tully” when it opens in theaters on April 20.
