Tully is most certainly a movie that didn't need a plot twist, but Jason Reitman and Diablo Cody decided to go for it anyway. After overworked mother Marlo (Charlize Theron) and her miracle worker nanny Tully (Mackenzie Davis) are involved in a drunken car crash, Marlo awakens in hospital where it's revealed that Tully was in fact a figment of her imagination the whole time.

Marlo's husband Drew (Ron Livingston) is informed that his wife is suffering with extreme exhaustion, implying that she never called for a nanny and has been taking on the entire workload herself. Tully then appears one more time as she and Marlo say their goodbyes.

It's a weird twist for sure and one that's firmly divided audiences, but as a potent statement on the toils of motherhood, it definitely works.
