Tully is worth a look for its true-to-life characters, its sensitive acting, its unadorned view of rural life and the subtle direction of first-timer Hilary Birmingham.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Jun 20, 2003

Best to just pick up a blade of grass and chew on it while absorbing the scenic imagery and natural acting of a strong cast.

The revelations... are not in the plot but in the rhythm of life and the pace of days (brought to life perfectly in the crisp, bright, sunlit photography)...

| Original Score: B | Mar 27, 2003

A heartfelt, understated and occasionally heavy-handed slice of heartland.

Watching Tully reminded me of a time when calling a movie 'little' was a compliment, a way of saying a director had found ways to locate his movie in a world that seemed entirely real.

At turns heartbreaking and heart-stirring.

There's certainly nothing objectionable about Tully, but there's nothing remarkable either. It resides in that cinematic middle ground of not-bad, not-great, just okay.

It brims with characters, incidents and dialogue that are alternately sharp and lyrical, and sometimes both at the same time.

Full Review | Original Score: 3.5/4 | Jan 24, 2003

An uncommonly perceptive and finely shaded character drama.

Full Review | Original Score: 3/4 | Jan 24, 2003

Modestly budgeted but richly visual film.

Full Review | Jan 24, 2003

The film is weighed down by supporting characters who are either too goodly, wise and knowing or downright comically evil.

| Original Score: 1.5/4 | Jan 23, 2003

Full of affecting, quiet moments.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Jan 23, 2003

A small-town movie in a big-city world.
