Hard Truths

Sisters Pansy and Chantal are chalk and cheese, but their close bond is the foundation that their extended family is built upon.  

Lately, life has proven too much for Pansy, her anguish manifests in relentless criticism of the world, leaving her husband Curtley, son Moses, and Chantal walking on eggshells. Things come to a head over the course of a Mother’s Day weekend. 

Leading British filmmaker Mike Leigh returns with another well-observed drama that delicately traces the bonds that bind families together. In Hard Truths, Leigh reunites with Marianne Jean-Baptiste (Secrets & Lies), who delivers a performance so intimate in its details, it could almost be moments from a home movie.
