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