Hard Truths (12A)

MUBI GO
Friday 14th - Thursday 20th February

Dir. Mike Leigh, UK, 2024, 97 mins. Cast. Marianne Jean-Baptiste, Jo Martin, Bryony Miller, Michelle Austin.

Legendary filmmaker Mike Leigh returns with a fierce, compassionate, and often darkly humorous study of family and the thorny ties that bind us.

Sisters Pansy and Chantal are chalk and cheese, but their close bond is the foundation that their extended family is built upon. Lately, life has proven too much for Pansy, her anguish manifests in relentless criticism of the world, leaving her husband Curtley, son Moses, and Chantal walking on eggshells. Things come to a head over the course of a Mother’s Day weekend.

Leading British filmmaker Mike Leigh returns with another well-observed drama that delicately traces the bonds that bind families together. In Hard Truths, Leigh reunites with Marianne Jean-Baptiste (Secrets & Lies), who delivers a performance so intimate in its details, it could almost be moments from a home movie.

On Wednesday 19th February, Plymouth Arts Cinema will be welcoming The Includiverse - a Plymouth based company breaking down barriers to big screen entertainment. The Includiverse team will be demonstrating their solution - using smart glasses to project subtitles and BSL directly into the wearer's field of vision.

The demonstration will run from 4.15pm - 5.15pm in the cinema, open to all, and completely free!

This is taking place straight after the 2.30pm screening of Hard Truths, which will be shown with Descriptive Subtitles. If you are attending the screening, we would like to invite you to stay afterwards for the demonstration if you can and provide feedback.

Or if you would just like to attend the demonstration, please contact info@plymouthartscinema.org to reserve your place.
