Hard Truths is Mike Leigh’s return to the modern world with his fierce, compassionate, and often darkly humorous exploration of family and the thorny bonds that bind us. Starring Marianne Jean-Baptiste and Michele Austin, this master playwright’s sweeping 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 a lifetime of pain and hardship.
