Tully (2000)
Family drama on a Midwest farm, doesn't quite come alive.

I wanted to like this movie but found it flat. The acting consisted mainly of moving slowly and looking sad. The setting was realistic and story believable but it lacked a spark of life. Although the characters were well-casted and likable, I found that I wasn't much engaged. Julianne Nicholson did a great job as Ella, Tully's love interest. Actually I liked all the actors but they didn't cohere into a good movie. This may have been because Anson Mount, as Tully, seemed unidimensional. He didn't quite convince me in his feelings for Ella, his anger, or his pain. I kept waiting for more depth but it never came.
Even for an indie, I don't recommend Tully. It wasn't bad but it wasn't good enough to warrant the time invested.
