Rating : - Small film yields large pleasures
A perfectly put together film about love and growing up. Tully Jr sees love as an endless series of sexual trysts. He learns that there is way more to love than this. Among the many beauties of this tale is the contrast between the free-spirit mom and the boring, trudging dad. Most Hollywood tales, encouraging us to follow our hearts and put ourselves first, never show the broken lives, crushed dreams, and shatttered relationships all too often left behind. But in Tully we see that love is not genetic, not something that happens to us, or something we fall in to, but spiritual, a choice made and honored. The painful difference between those who love others and those who love themeselves is exquisitely done. This is a film that had to be set in the Heartland; no one in Hollywood believes any of this stuff.

Well done in every respect. See it.
