I watched Tully last night, a simple and beautiful film. I bawled through the last few minutes and most of the credits - probably because the actor who played the dad looked so much like my dead grandfather. Overall, it is a sweet film with great acting (although there are no big actors in it - they are all semi-recognizable). It is hard to believe it is directed by a woman, because she deals so well with the relationship between the main family in the film (all males). I would definitely recommend it. Plus - on the DVD there is an extra short film called The Third Date which is really cute. It bears no resemblance to Tully - except they were both directed by women. If you are a diehard fan of 24 you should see it, because it has both Sarah Clarke and Xander Berkeley in it. Overall - worth checking out.
