Director Jason Reitman, screenwriter Diablo Cody, and actor Charlize Theron—the team behind the 2011 comedy Young Adult—join forces once again for Tully, a bold new dramedy that confronts the many taboos of motherhood. A bittersweet spin on the classic fairy godmother tale, Tully stars Theron as Marlo, a mother of three battling stress and resentment. When she hires the titular Tully (Mackenzie Davis), a younger nanny, her new employee’s free-spirited ways ignite her previously dormant inner spark.
