MOVIE CLUB: Tully & The Power of Postpartum Ghost Stories with Janet Manley

The Mother of it All

LitHub contributing editor Janet Manley joins us to talk about the postpartum comedy with a horror twist that started it all, 2018’s Tully. We discuss how the conversation around the postpartum period has changed in six years, what the New York Times got wrong about this film, and what we would go back and offer our postpartum selves.
