Hard Truths Full Movie Where to Watch
Line of Events
Legendary director Mike Leigh returns to the modern world with a fierce, compassionate and often darkly humorous study of family and the thorny bonds that bind us together. Reuniting with Leigh for the first time since her multiple Oscar-nominated run on Secrets and Lies, the incredible Marianne Jean-Baptiste stars as Pansy, a woman torn by fear, tormented by adversity and prone to furious tirades against her husband, her son and anyone who gets in her way. Meanwhile, her quiet younger sister, played by Michele Austin (One More Year), is a single mother whose life is as different from Pansy’s as their clashing temperaments – brimming with the warmth shared by her salon clients and daughters. This sprawling film from a superb playwright draws us into the depths of kinship, duty and that most enduring of human mysteries: even in lives filled with pain and hardship, we still find ways to love those we call family.
