Connected to
Jason Reitman: 2 lines verdict ×2
-
verdict (verdict):
Jason Reitman → Tully.
Reitman's sharper-elbowed work (Young Adult, Tully, Front Runner) is the work that speaker likes best.
“those are really his films that I really, really like.”

Diablo Cody: 1 line craft ×1
-
craft (craft):
Tully → Diablo Cody.
Amanda objects to one scene and the ending of a film written by a woman and imagines a female director.
“absolutely hated the ending”

Jonathan Demme: 1 line verdict ×1
-
verdict (better-suited director):
Jonathan Demme → Tully.
A Demme-directed Tully would be better, said of Demme's humanistic approach.
“Jonathan Demi Tully would have been a better Tully.”

Karyn Kusama: 1 line what-if ×1
-
what-if (what-if):
Tully → Karyn Kusama.
Kusama's dread from The Invitation would give Tully a darker, less rosy ending.
“probably not have the, um, rosy ending that Tully tries to have”
The Big Picture · 300th Episode Ask-Us-Anything Mailbag Spectacular · 0:39:25 · Amanda Dobbins (0.90 sure it was them)
Look Who's Talking: 1 line unmapped ×1
-
unmapped (motherhood film):
Tully → Look Who's Talking.
Tully was treated as a novelty for tackling early motherhood but its twist hurts it.
“That movie just shouldn't have a twist.”
Blank Check with Griffin & David · Look Who's Talking with Hillary Busis · 2:15:13 · unknown (0.30 sure it was them)
Ricki and the Flash: 1 line unmapped ×1
-
unmapped (specificity):
Ricki and the Flash → Tully.
Tully earns its modest, specific scenes of two people talking for most of its length; Ricki should have had that same energy between its complicated characters.
“I wish this had the specificity that Tully has for so much of its running time”
Blank Check with Griffin & David · Ricki and the Flash with Bobby Finger & Lindsey Weber · 0:37:42 · unknown (0.40 sure it was them)
