Few films have treated motherhood as a central theme and in such a way brutally honest as 'Tully', starring the great Charlize Theron. The second official trailer of the film has just been released with more scenes of the daily life of this exhausted mother of three children, which leaves us even more eager to see her.
Surely many of you you will feel identified With the character of Marlo, a woman who has just had a baby, she is also the mother of two other young children, and feels that she can no longer. So real that even Charlize herself confessed that she had not been able to make the film without first experiencing motherhood.
Although at first she does not want to accept her brother's help by offering her a babysitter at night, the mother finally accepts and comes to her life Tully (starring Mackenzie Davis) to change her completely. Comedy (from the authors of 'Juno') explores the relationship between the two women with a great dose of humor and honesty.
There are phrases that already advance the character of the film. In the scene you see in the picture above, the mother takes off her shirt because the child has spilled a glass of milk and her son asks "Mom, what's wrong with your body?". By the way, a role for which Charlize has had to gain 15 kilos.
One of the phrases that struck me most in the trailer is when the babysitter tells her "You are empty". Although Tully refers to the breast of which the baby sucks, the mother responds yes with the head because it really is how she feels, empty. Exhaustion and loneliness have "eaten inside", and it is very significant of what happens to many postpartum parents. There are days when you would close the door behind you and run away.
And what about mothers who have no help?
A question that has been spinning in my head after watching the trailer. Most women they can't afford (or don't want to) hire a babysitter at night Let them "save." And what about those who don't have that help?
It makes us reflect on the importance of asking for help when we feel overwhelmed, because when a mother feels frustrated and exhausted to the point of feeling that she is invisible, she is not able to enjoy and take care of her children as they deserve, and it is much more prone to postpartum depression.
The film opens in the United States on April 20 and in Spain on June 1. We leave you the second Spanish subtitled trailer that has no waste:
