Hard Truths Full Movie Stream
Scenario
Legendary director Mike Leigh returns to the modern world with a fierce, compassionate, and often humorous study of family and the thorny bonds that bind us. Reunited with Leigh for the first time since her multiple Oscar nominations in Secrets and Lies, the incredible Marianne Jean-Baptiste plays 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 younger, relieved sister, played by Michele Austin (One More Year), is a single mother whose life is as different from Pansy’s as their conflicting temperaments – filled with the shared warmth of her salon clients and daughters. This expansive film by a superb playwright takes us into the intensity of kinship, duty, and that most enduring of human mysteries: even through lives filled with pain and hardship, we still find ways to love those we call family.
