Tully (2000)

Quiet, powerful family drama
Life for a father (Bob Burrus) and his two sons (Anson Mount and Glenn Fitzgerald) on their Nebraska farm is disrupted by an unexpected foreclosure notice that causes the opening of family secrets concerning the absent mother. This quiet but powerful drama has a deliberate pace that matches the long, slow summer days and nights of a rural community. Deceptively uneventful on the surface, the film seethes with repressed emotion underneath, and the end is heartbreaking. A cast of unknowns make these honest, hard-working characters into people that you could expect to meet on the street.

Great indie film
The slow pacing is a good match for the rural, quiet lifestyle. Characters are complex, interesting, likeable and believable. Especially enjoyed Julianne Nicholson's portrayal of Ella Smalley, a kind, honest young woman bringing some life to the lonely family dynamic of a single father raising two sons. The theme is bittersweet with a touch of hopefullness. Recommended.

Great Movie
A wonderful movie with really good acting. Some might think it is a depressing story but I really feel it was one of the best movies I've seen in tthe last 10 years. Must be good it's the only one I've purchased!
