“People, I can’t stand them!”
Marianne Jean-Baptiste delivers a career-best performance as Pansy, a middle-aged woman battling grief, perpetual rage, and disconnection in Mike Leigh’s Hard Truths, three decades after their collaboration on Secrets and Lies. After a family reckoning with her sister (an equally brilliant Michele Austin), Pansy begins to confront the root of this pain.
