Tully (2018 Jason Reitman)

Re-teaming of Reitman, Diablo Cody (Juno) and Charlize Theron (Young Adult), who never seems to mind looking dowdy, in most engrossing story, with Mackenzie Davis, Ron Livingstone, Elaine Tan and Mark Duplass. Great writing.

Shot by Eric Steelburg and edited by Stefan Grube, with a wonderful montage sequence of the experience of being a mother.

Reitman seems to have managed to find time to also make The Front Runner (Hugh Jackman and Vera Farmiga) this year - perhaps he also had some kind of night nanny looking after him.
