Tully

Davis has exactly the right borderline-strange happiness and charm (...) she portrays how exotic and alien twentysomethings seem to careworn parents and how jealous these oldsters are...

There is an undeniable spark in the Reitman/Cody mix. Her almost-naturalistic dialogue (...) illuminates his laconic filmmaking, while he lets the wit breathe without overly-stylized embellishments.

Theron has perfected the dead-eyed gaze of a woman who can’t quite work out where motherly love ends and Stockholm syndrome begins.

...reminds us why Theron deserved that 2004 Oscar.

Välspelat och vemodigt kärleksfullt...

...man tager Therons tour de force med sig fra biografen som en af forårets helt store skuespilpræstationer i en film, der fortjener at blive både set og husket.
