Mike Leigh’s new film Hard Truths is an exacting portrait of what it is stuck in a life of discontent.

The film stars Marianne Jean-Baptiste , who had a breakout role nearly 30 years ago in Mike Leigh's shattering Secrets & Lies .

Hard Truths is a movie about a certain kind of depression, its stinging sensitivity to anything light.

Leigh makes the audience confront the long-held fear held by many people of us as we age.

In his film’s final moments, Leigh allows for the faintest hints of better: an unexpected act of friendliness here, a hand reached out in need there.
