Hard Truths

The great Mike Leigh’s HARD TRUTHS features a phenomenal performance from Marianne Jean-Baptiste in a fierce but optimistically, compassionate and darkly funny look at family relationships in the post-pandemic world. Pansy is a woman tormented by anger and depression, hypersensitive to the slightest possible offence and ever ready to fly off the handle. She criticises her husband and their adult son so relentlessly that neither bothers to argue with her. She picks fights with strangers and sales clerks and enumerates the world's countless flaws to anyone who will listen, especially her cheerful sister Chantelle, who, despite their clashing temperaments, might be the only person still capable of sympathising with her… HARD TRUTHS is rich and expansive with Leigh and an extraordinary cast capturing all the complexities of human behaviour and social interaction of our modern world.PT1H37M12A2025-01-31
