HARD TRUTHS (12A)

Mike Leigh | UK | Spain | 2025 | 97’

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.

The astonishing Marianne Jean-Baptiste (here reunited with Leigh for the first time since the multiple Oscar-nominated Secrets and Lies) plays Pansy, a woman wracked by fear, tormented by afflictions, and prone to raging tirades against anyone who looks her way. This expansive film from a master dramatist takes us into the intensities of kinship, duty, hurt and hardship, and the ways we find to love those we call family.

£8.40 (£7.70) (£5.90)

Subtitled screening on Wednesday 12 March @ 7.15pm
