HARD TRUTHS - Mike Leigh's newest feature with a tremendous Marianne Jean-Baptiste

Feb 21 thru 24
Fri to Mon 4:30pm only!

Dir. Mike Leigh - 2024 - 97m - UK

Legendary filmmaker Mike Leigh returns to the contemporary world with a fierce, compassionate, and often darkly humorous study of family and the thorny ties that bind us. Reunited with Leigh for the first time since multiple Oscar-nominated Secrets and Lies, the astonishing Marianne Jean-Baptiste plays Pansy, a woman wracked by fear, tormented by afflictions, and prone to raging tirades against her husband, son, and anyone who looks her way. Meanwhile, her easygoing younger sister, played by Michele Austin (Another Year), is a single mother with a life as different from Pansy’s as their clashing temperaments - brimming with communal warmth from her salon clients and daughters alike. 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.


"Exquisite direction and screenwriting from Mike Leigh and a gut-punch turn from Marianne Jean-Baptiste." - Nick Rogers, Midwest Film Journal


"With his latest masterpiece “Hard Truths,” Mike Leigh seeks to assure us that we’re not alone in our fury at a world where kindness has become a rare and precious commodity." - Al Alexander, Movies Thru the Spectrum
