Do you want to know why mothers smell like vomit, look tired all the time and claim that they don't have time to get a shower? Look no further! Tully is ready to answer your motherhood related inquiries with Jason Reitman's and Diablo Cody's refreshingly honest but wittily humorous take on the life of mother of three. Tully shows us how motherhood is not about shit you see in Instagram moms' feeds: sexy pregnancy photos, adorable selfies with the baby, wonderful and bright everyday moments, fresh and beautiful mothers. No, in "Tully" motherhood is about sleepless nights, sweat, tears, identity crisis, and annoying routine.

I know that this shit sounds quite heavy, but don't let it fool you. Reitman – the dude who made us laugh and think with Juno, Up in the Air, and Thank You for Smoking – makes sure that you smile while you follow the life of the protagonist 40-something Marlo (Charlize Theron), who tries to deal both with her painfully kid-centered life and her present self, who gets buried under the everyday bullshit she has to deal with.

If you are ready to stick around you will probably be awarded in the end, with a little surprise.

Why the fuck you shouldn’t watch Tully?

• You hate it when important issues (like postnatal depression) are used as a plot device.

• You don't enjoy trivial freshman level insights on personhood. 

• You would rather watch some lame comedy, where unhappy mothers solve their issues by going to Vegas or throwing a party.
