Hard Truths sees Mike Leigh return to the modern world with a wild, compassionate, and often darkly humorous examination of family and the fragile bonds that bind us. Starring Marianne Jean-Baptiste and Michele Austin, this sweeping film from a master of drama 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.
