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 bonds that bind us. The film stars Marianne Jean-Baptiste and Michele Austin. This sprawling film from a master of drama takes us into the intensities of kinship, duty and that most enduring of human mysteries: that even through lives of pain and adversity, we still find ways to love those we call family.
