Hard Truths is Mike Leigh’s return to the contemporary world with a passionate, compassionate and often darkly humorous study of family and the difficult bonds that bind us. The film stars Marianne Jean-Baptiste and Michele Austin. This sweeping film from a master playwright introduces us to the intensity of kinship, duty and that most enduring of human mysteries: that even in a life of pain and hardship, we still find ways to love those we call family.
