Critics' reviews

"A funny and piercing take on the self-abnegation of parenting (...) [It] entertains while affording its characters their share of no-laughing-matter concerns."

John DeFore: The Hollywood Reporter
"'Tully' has its heart (and many other things) in the right place, but by the end you wish it had an imagination finely executed enough to match its empathy."

Owen Gleiberman: Variety
"Theron and Davis are dynamite together (...) There’s something beautiful about the way these two women both learn to love themselves"

David Ehrlich: IndieWire
"A deftly comic but deeply felt script from writer Diablo Cody (...) Funny, touching and vital (…) Rating: ★★★½ (out of 4)"

Peter Travers: Rolling Stone
"[Theron] conveys Marlo’s transformation from the beginning to the end of the picture with fantastic subtlety (...) The director also fashions some wonderfully constructed montage sequences"

Gregory Ellwood: The Playlist
"Theron is terrific (...) [Davis] is a great complement to Theron (...) 'Tully' is a lot deeper than it initially appears to be"

Richard Lawson: Vanity Fair
"It’s a marvellous movie about the lies we tell ourselves to stay sane (…) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"
