Hard Truths is Mike Leigh’s return to the modern world with a fierce, compassionate, and often darkly humorous exploration of family and the thorny bonds that bind us. The film stars Marianne Jean-Baptiste and Michele Austin. This sweeping film from the master playwright takes us into the intensity of kinship, duty, and that most enduring of human mysteries: that even through a lifetime of hurt and hardship, we still find ways to love those we call family.
