Pansy has a volatile temper. Even the smallest provocation can trigger an outburst of rage, affecting everyone around her—whether close family members or strangers at the store. She lives with her husband, Curtley, and their adult son, Moses, both of whom meet Pansy’s anger with quiet resignation. She finds comfort in her close bond with her sister, Chantelle, who in many ways is her complete opposite.
Read moreMike Leigh is a pillar of British social-realist cinema. He was hailed as a genius for Naked (1993) and Secrets & Lies (1996), later continuing with acclaimed contemporary dramas such as Happy-Go-Lucky (2008) and Another Year (2010). After making the historical epics Mr. Turner (2014) and Peterloo (2018), he returns to his signature style. Hard Truths is raw and direct, yet full of warmth and empathy.
Marianne Jean-Baptiste delivers an impressive and nuanced performance as Pansy. Behind her fiery temperament lies a deep humanity. Ultimately, Pansy herself is the most tragic figure, struggling to accept the hard truths of life.
