Hard Truths

Abrasive, compulsive, and depressed, aging London housewife Pansy Deacon (Marianne Jean-Baptiste) couldn't ever not find a fight to pick-with immediate family, or essentially anyone who crossed her path. When her cheery and affable hairdresser sister Chantelle (Michele Austin) hits her with a stunning request, the buried reasons for her flinty exterior begin to surface. Acclaimed back-to-basics character study from Mike Leigh also stars David Webber, Tuwaine Barrett, Ani Nelson, Sophia Brown. 97 min. Widescreen; Soundtrack: English.
