About

'Hard Truths' feels like quintessential Mike Leigh: intimate, humane and quietly devastating. Through textured performances and unvarnished dialogue, the film peels back layers of everyday life with its complexities, frustrations and sometimes difficult family relationships.  Its slow-burn honesty reveals the deep-seated hostility and despair experienced by the main character, Pansy (Marianne Jean-Baptiste) and her warm and easy-going sister, Chantelle (Michele Austin).  This is an unpretentious, piercing triumph of observational storytelling.
