My comments: A movie about postpartum depression. I guess I can't say I 100% liked this movie, although Charlize Theron was awesome ... as was the entire cast. I feel really unsettled about it. The first quarter of the movie for me was sort of slow moving, maybe even boring, and then when the nanny was introduced things seemed a little too weird to be anywhere near normal. At first I thought the feeling I had was discomfort, but I think it was more just that it was unsettling. The surprise ending made lots of puzzle pieces fit together, but I think I wouldn't liked to know the "surprise" a little bit sooner.
RT/ IMDb Summary: The film is about Marlo, a mother of three including a newborn, who is gifted a night nanny by her brother. Hesitant to the extravagance at first, Marlo comes to form a unique bond with the thoughtful, surprising, and sometimes challenging young nanny named Tully.
