About 30 minutes into Todd Robinson’s new Pentagon film, “The Last Full Measure,” you begin to fear that it will be just another political office drama centered around powerful men puffing out their chests and stepping on each other to get ahead..
But once it gets past the smug banter between colleagues, the film, inspired by actual events, finally shifts towards something far more meaningful: Vietnam war veterans struggling with Ptsd and their relationship with heroism.
It’s an intriguing bait-and-switch that is first presented through glimpses of staggering combat sequences and explosions breathtakingly shot by Byron Werner (Robinson’s “Phantom”) intercut with tense tête-à-têtes between Carlton Stanton (Bradley Whitford) and Scott Huffman (Sebastian Stan), Pentagon colleagues flailing after the sudden departure of a high-ranking official.

In an industry increasingly enthused by the possibilities of world-building — or, more appropriately, the creation of worlds expressly for comic book movies that can sustain repeated films and planet-devastating battles while looking oddly familiar to the real world in the process — the ability for any filmmaker to craft something wholly unique and fully realized is still damningly rare. “Greener Grass” does it with two filmmakers. Directed, written by, produced by, and starring Jocelyn DeBoer and Dawn Luebbe, the Not everyone will vibe with the pair’s sharp upbraiding of the modern world, but those that dig what they throw down will love the inventive duo forever.
Based on the pair’s 2015 short film of the same name, DeBoer and Luebbe have further expanded their nutty vision of suburban ennui and the painful consequences of keeping up with the status quo into an unsettling and amusing send-up of human behavior. Set...

What would it take to make you happy: A different house? A different wife? Or maybe an altogether different life? Before you go coveting your neighbor’s fill-in-the-blank, you owe it to yourself to watch “Greener Grass,” an odd and wonderfully upbeat absurdist take on the American dream from improv comedians turned independent filmmakers Jocelyn DeBoer and Dawn Luebbe, who’ve imagined an upper-middle-class community where domestic bliss always seems to be just one lifestyle tweak away.
Just a sample of what that means: In the opening scene, a pair of soccer moms sit chatting on the sidelines of their sons’ match. “Oh, my gosh, I didn’t even notice. You have a new baby!” Lisa Wetbottom (Luebbe) notes appreciatively, to which her friend Jill Davies (DeBoer) beams with pride, revealing ultra-white teeth wired with braces. “Do you want her?

Good parents do the best they can, and we forgive them when they make mistakes. Similarly, the parenting comedy “Tully” makes a narrative misstep late in the game — and it’s a spoiler, so I’ll talk around it — but the film is otherwise so intelligent, so uncompromising and so bleakly hilarious in a genuine way that it’s easy to overlook the errors and focus on the good times.
For their third collaboration (after “Juno” and “Young Adult”), screenwriter Diablo Cody and director Jason Reitman are determined to strip away the gauzy sentimentality so often used to portray motherhood in the media. And with their “Young Adult” star Charlize Theron, they have a performer who fearlessly conveys the utter physical and spiritual devastation of constantly giving of yourself to others when all you want is a nap.
Theron stars as Marlo, a New Jersey mother of two who is about to give birth to a third child, one that was very much unplanned. Marlo’s already got her hands full: her younger son Jonah (Asher Miles Fallica, “Ozark”) displays behavior that indicates he’s on the autism spectrum, although his school principal will only refer to him as “quirky,” and her husband Drew (Ron Livingston) is always traveling for work. (And when he’s home, he’s more likely to spend his nights curled up with a video game instead of washing a dish.)

Marlo’s wealthy brother Craig (Mark Duplass) makes the offer of a “night nanny,” who will come in and stay up overnight with the new baby so that all Marlo has to do in the night is breast-feed; otherwise, she can get some much-needed sleep. She balks at first, having seen too many “The Hand That Rocks the Cradle”-inspired Lifetime movies, but ultimately, the grind of diaper-changing, breast-pumping and kid-carpooling leaves Marlo so frazzled that she finally calls up the nanny.
Enter Tully (Mackenzie Davis), seemingly the answer to all of Marlo’s prayers. Not only is she great with the baby, but she cleans the house, bakes and has real conversations with Marlo, the kind of deep and meaningful chats that take Marlo back to her carefree single days. What could go wrong?
Also Read: Charlize Theron Says 'Racism' May Drive Her and Her Black Children Out of the Country
Where “Tully” goes from here will be a matter of taste, and while I question some of Cody’s third-act ideas, I applaud her and Theron for pulling no punches about the agony of parenting; the act of tending to an infant is handled with some of the grimmest humor this side of “Eraserhead.” Whether Marlo is stepping on Legos, dealing with Jonah’s school or trying to muster the energy to put a frozen pizza in the oven, Theron gives us a brutally realistic portrait of a woman on the verge of a nervous breakdown.
The film (and the actress) go places we never see in cinematic portrayals of motherhood, whether it’s a close-up of Marlo’s nipple, distended by all that pumping, or a frazzled Marlo attempting to jog, determined to keep pace with the young college girl who breezes past her. Theron’s performance is as sardonically witty as you might expect from her work in “Young Adult,” but she participates, ego-free, in the least flattering angles that Reitman and cinematographer Eric Steelberg (“Baywatch”) can throw her way.

The performances are strong across the board — all the scenes between Theron and Davis, in particular, overflow with empathy and understanding — and Cody’s writing has never been better. She’s toning down the pop-culture references (although we do learn that the distance between Marlo’s house and Brooklyn is longer than the entire running time of Cyndi Lauper’s “She’s So Unusual”) and making her characters richer and more believable; significant silences are playing a larger role as well, and what Marlo and Drew don’t say to each other always carries more weight than what they do.
Ultimately, the film champions Marlo as a good mother, but it also honors her weariness and her indefatigability. “Tully” is no box of chocolates, to be sure, but it’s a memorable Mother’s Day gift.

After loving their first collaboration (Juno) and disliking their second (Young Adult), I didn’t know what to expect with director Jason Reitman and writer Diablo Cody’s third pairing behind the camera. The best I could do was enter the theater unprejudiced and hopeful for the best since I do like most of their work regardless of that mutual misstep. I can’t say Tully initially made it easy, though. Just because Marlo (Charlize Theron) and Drew (Ron Livingston) aren’t the generic rich, white, suburban couple able to afford a “night nanny” (Mackenzie Davis’ titular Tully), doesn’t mean the premise of needing one to cope after a third pregnancy becomes any less patronizingly elitist. We don’t want parenthood’s messy authenticity sanitized by a diamond prism—especially not in today’s political climate.
The worst thing you could do, however, is give up upon Tully’s bubbly,...

There are some filmmaking teams that just seem to bring out the best in each other. In terms of writers who pair with directors, few have the winning bond that scribe Diablo Cody has with auteur Jason Reitman. Between Juno and Young Adult, the pair have crafted some truly memorable cinema. This week, the duo team up again for Tully, which also marks their second union with star Charlize Theron (after the aforementioned Young Adult). This dramedy is a whole new type of flick for the trio, which is a definite compliment. All three have done tremendous work in the past, and this stands right up there with the best of it. In fact, few films in 2018 have been this good. The film is described on IMDb as such: “The film is about Marlo, a mother of three including a newborn, who is gifted a night nanny by her brother.

Coming from the director Jason Reitman and Diablo Cody, the Oscar-winning Juno writer who also penned Young Adult, we have reason to expect another smart, witty, real and watchable story peering into our everyday lives. With the terrific and unpredictable Tully, you will not be disappointed.

Starring Charlize Theron as a busy mother on the brink of a breakdown and Mackenzie Davis as the young woman who comes to help her out of a tight spot, Tully marks the third collaboration between acclaimed director Jason Reitman and Oscar-winning screenwriter Diablo Cody. Dealing with themes surrounding modern parenthood and postpartum depression, the film is a welcome return to form for the director who has over the last couple years struggled to equal the brilliance of his debut feature Thank You For Smoking (2005) or the brilliance of the critically acclaimed Juno (2007).
Marlo (Theron) is a busy middle-class mother of two who is also on the last stages of a stressful third pregnancy. Struggling to cope with the constant demands from her special needs son Jonah (Asher Miles Fallica) and his bright 8-year-old sister, Marlo has so far opted to suffer in silence unbeknown to her nonplussed husband Drew...
