Legendary filmmaker Mike Leigh returns with a darkly humorous and poignant exploration of family dynamics.
Currently sitting at 95% on Rotten Tomatoes, HARD TRUTHS is a compelling drama that blends dark humour with deep emotional exploration. Marianne Jean-Baptiste stars as Pansy, a woman consumed by fear and afflictions, whose volatile outbursts strain her relationships with her husband, son, and anyone nearby. In contrast, her younger sister is a single mother whose life is filled with warmth from her daughters and the clients of her salon. The film delves into the complexities of family, duty, and the difficult, yet enduring, love that binds us— even through years of pain and conflict.
