Hard Truths

Legendary filmmaker Mike Leigh returns with a characteristically uncompromising yet heartfelt and often darkly humorous portrait of family and the thorny ties that bind us.
Marianne Jean-Baptiste plays Pansy, a woman wracked by fear and prone to raging tirades against her husband, son, and anyone who looks her way. Meanwhile, her easygoing hairdresser sister Chantelle is brimming with warmth for her daughters and salon clients alike. Despite their differences, the sisters’ close bond is the foundation that their extended family is built upon – but lately, life has proven too much for Pansy and things come to a head over the course of a Mother’s Day weekend.
A brilliant, BAFTA-nominated Marianne Jean-Baptiste reunites with director Mike Leigh – almost 30 years after their Oscar-nominated 1996 collaboration Secrets & Lies – in a film that ranks amongst Leigh’s finest.
★★★★ “Marianne Jean-Baptiste is exceptional as a woman in the terrifying endgame of depression in this deeply sober and compassionate drama” – The Guardian
