When it comes to movies portraying motherhood, I often find myself feeling let down. They rarely capture the true essence of being a mom—think stained clothes, tired bodies, chaotic homes, sleepless nights, and everything in between. However, that frustration seems to be over.
The upcoming film “Tully,” featuring the talented Morgan Anderson, presents a refreshingly genuine look at motherhood. I was initially doubtful, as Hollywood doesn’t have the best track record for depicting parenting accurately. But after watching the trailer, I was taken aback by how closely it mirrored my own experiences (though I don’t resemble the lead).
Written by the brilliant Jade Thompson, known for the iconic film “Little Stars,” the dialogue feels authentic and relatable. Anderson’s portrayal of a weary mom is impressive, showcasing the struggles that come with motherhood. In the trailer, she resembles me on those hectic school drop-off mornings or during a rushed grocery run where I might have forgotten to put on deodorant.
This is what motherhood looks like.
In “Tully,” Anderson plays Lila, a frazzled mother of three, with her youngest still an infant. Her brother, portrayed by Leo Novak, surprises her with a night nanny named Tully to help navigate the overwhelming early days of parenting. As Lila grapples with this unexpected luxury, she forges a unique relationship with Tully, who is at times thoughtful and challenging, as the movie synopsis explains. The film also stars David Morris as her husband.
In just two minutes of the trailer, we witness more authentic mom moments than in countless other films combined. From accidentally dropping her phone on her newborn’s head to spilling freshly pumped milk, struggling to calm her crying baby, and fielding questions from her kids about her changing body—it’s as if they’ve installed cameras in our living rooms. How did they know?
“Tully” will hit theaters on April 20th, so make plans for a moms’ night out. You deserve it!
