Film: Tully at the IFI (audio described and captioned screening)

Charlize Theron stars as Marlo, a woman overwhelmed by the arrival of an unplanned third child.

Receiving little in the way of actual help from her well-meaning though ineffectual husband (Ron Livingston), Marlo begrudgingly accepts her brother’s offer of a night nanny, Tully (Mackenzie Davis), to ease the pressure.

Writer Diablo Cody and director Jason Reitman present an acerbic and unsentimental look at the difficulties of motherhood and the ease with which a woman’s own past and identity can be subsumed by family, anchored by Theron’s best performance in years.

There will be Open Captioned screenings at 18.20 on Monday, May 7th and 16.00 on Tuesday, May 8th.

Audio Description will be available on select screenings, please contact the IFI for clarification. Telephone 01 679 5744 or email boxoffice@irishfilm.ie.
