The unraveling, the faux SJW looks and comments from the woman who shames you for ordering a decaf coffee because there’s still a sliver of caffeine in there and OMG WHAT ABOUT THE BABY? As with most of Cody’s writing, the zippy one-liners are carefully crafted masks of superhero-level disguise hiding a much deeper pain.Įnter midnight savior Tully (played with lithe and ease by Halt and Catch Fire’s Mackenzie Davis), a millennial Mary Poppins by way of Coachella. It’s a story that will speak loudly, and volumes, to many women. This is a comedy, to be sure, but it’s a sharp examination of postpartum depression, a subject rarely (ever?) discussed as a main theme for a feature film. Marlo’s husband Drew (played by Ron Livingston) is no help he lives a Peter Pan life, never really growing up from his teenage years of playing video games all night despite being a father of three children. With a high-maintenance 10-year old son Jonah on the autism spectrum (an idea that isn’t fully developed) and a highly functioning daughter in 8-year old Sarah.
Theron plays Marlo, a mother at 40 of a newborn. Less deference to craft and more ‘Look at her body now!’ type of TMZ-level debate. We often talk about men transforming their bodies for their art but women doing it is about being ‘fearless’ to look like shit.
40 YEAR OLD MOTHER LOAD FULL
For Tully, Theron is in full deglam mode once again, going makeup free and gaining 50 lbs for the role. Whether it’s being in top shape and doing her own stunts for Atomic Blonde and Mad Max: Fury Road or de-glamming for her Oscar-winning role in Monster, she hits and she hits hard in a way that fewer actresses do. Charlize Theron is a deliriously committed actress.
