Hard Truths is Mike Leigh’s return to the contemporary world with his fierce, compassionate and often darkly humorous study of family and the thorny bonds that bind us together. The film stars Marianne Jean-Baptiste and Michele Austin. This masterful playwright’s large-scale film takes us into the intensity of kinship, duty, and that most enduring of human mysteries: how to find a way to love those we call family, even through lifetimes of pain and hardship.
