Director and cast
Critics on Rotten Tomatoes
Top critics, in their words
It stands out thanks to the graceful, thoughtful characterization of its three protagonists, despite their potential to be monstrous caricatures.
Tallulah is such a funny, insightful, engrossing and slightly twisted dysfunctional family drama.
Tallulah is an enchanting, sharp little gem
Even if the tale is a bit much to be believed at times, it's unlikely you'll see a film more refreshingly honest and incisive about motherhood than "Tallulah."
