Hard Truths [12A]

Runtime: 97 mins

Distributor: Studiocanal

Director: Mike Leigh

Starring: Marianne Jean-Baptiste, Michele Austin

Pansy (Marianne Jean-Baptiste) is 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 Chantal (Michele Austin) is a single mother, her life brimming with communal warmth from her salon clients and daughters alike. But things between the two of them come to a head over the course of one Mother’s Day weekend. A true legend of contemporary British cinema, Mike Leigh returns to the modern world with his first feature in six years: a fierce, humorous and compassionate study of family and the thorny ties that bind us.
