Pansy is a woman so full of rage that every interaction she has devolves into lashing out, whether at her utterly cowed husband and son, or random strangers who have the temerity to address her. In contrast, her younger sister Chantelle lives with her two vivacious daughters and plies a successful trade as a hairdresser, putting clients at their ease all day long. Yet beneath Pansy’s abrasive exterior are hints of a more fragile psyche, one motivated by fear and damaged by repressed pain.

Hard Truths Review

‘Hard Truths’ has Director Mike Leigh Reunited with Actor Marianne Jean-Baptiste for a Caustic, Funny Film. Jean-Baptiste plays Pansy, a woman who suffers no fools, pushing everything around her away, but also confronting deeply-held family issues. Opening in theaters on January 10th, ‘Hard Truths’ finds director Mike Leigh back in some familiar modern-day territory after a couple of trips to the past for previous two movies ‘Mr.

Turner’ and ‘Peterloo.’ It’s also a welcome reunion for the filmmaker and one of his main muses, actor Marianne Jean-Baptiste, who here runs with a superbly-crafted character brimming with vinegar and criticism, who is nevertheless revealed to be a woman carrying heavy emotional burdens.
