Hard Truths
classified 12ANominated for 2 BAFTAs.
Legendary filmmaker Mike Leigh returns with a fierce, compassionate, and often darkly humorous study of family and the thorny ties that bind us.
Marianne Jean-Baptiste plays Pansy, a woman wracked by fear, tormented by afflictions, and prone to raging tirades against her husband, son, and anyone who looks her way. Meanwhile, her easygoing younger sister (Michele Austin) is a single mother with a life as different from Pansy’s as their clashing temperaments.
This expansive film takes us into the intensities of kinship, duty, and that we still can find ways to love those we call family.
