Hard Truths Trailer - Mike Leigh, Marianne Jean-Baptiste English Movie
Marianne Jean-Baptiste and Mike Leigh worked together on 1996's Secrets & Lies. They are now back together with Hard Truths.
Legendary filmmaker Mike Leigh returns to the contemporary world with a fierce, compassionate, and often darkly humorous study of family and the thorny ties that bind us. Reunited with Leigh for the first time since multiple Oscar-nominated SECRETS AND LIES, the astonishing Marianne Jean-Baptiste plays Pansy, 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 easy going younger sister, played by Michele Austin (ANOTHER YEAR), is a single mother with a life as different from Pansy's as their clashing temperaments - brimming with communal warmth from her salon clients and daughters alike. This expansive film from a master dramatist takes us into the intensities of kinship, duty, and the most enduring of human mysteries: that even through lifetimes of hurt and hardship, we still find ways to love those we call family.
directed by Mike Leigh, the film stars Marianne Jean-Baptiste, Michele Austin, David Webber, Tuwaine Barrett, Ani Nelson, Sophia Brown & Jonathan Livingstone.
Hard Truths opens in US cinemas on 6th December 2024.

00:00Look at you! Fix your face! You're dealing with the public, handling people's food.
00:11Stop! Please.
00:12Oh, you can pipe down and all stand in there like an ostrich.
00:18People. Can't stand them. Cheerful, grinning people.
00:27I'll see you in a bit.
00:28Where do you think you're going?
00:29For a walk.
00:30People are going to accuse you of loitering with intent.
00:36Your sister called me.
00:37Who?
00:38Chantelle.
00:39I know who my sister is, thank you very much.
00:41When are you going to settle down?
00:42Why, you have somebody for me?
00:43Yes, Jesus.
00:47At least he was a single man.
00:50Do you want to come to the flat on Sunday?
00:53The girls would like to see you.
00:54You know I've got healthy shoes.
00:57I might spend the day lying in bed.
01:00She makes everything about her. She's rude, man.
01:04I've been harassed by people all day. I'm sick to death of it.
01:11I just want it to all stop.
01:16Why are you so angry? What a coward.
01:20Why are you so angry?
01:23Why can't you enjoy life?
01:24I don't know.
01:28You worry me, you know.
01:31Pansy, what's going on?
01:36I'm so lonely.
01:39What are we going to do about it?
01:40What are we going to do about it?
01:48I don't understand you.
01:52But I love you.
01:57And her over there with that fat baby.
02:00Parading it around in the little outfit.
02:02Not dressed for the weather.
02:03Nah, with pockets.
02:05What's a baby got pockets for?
02:07What's it going to keep in its pocket?
02:10I don't know.
