Hard Truths Luna Outdoor event

Celebrate Mike Leigh's latest wonder Hard Truths with some lively tunes from RTRFM DJ, complimentary tasty English fayre and $12 GnT or British beer specials available from the bar.*

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

Reunited with Leigh for the first time since multiple Oscar-nominated Secrets and Lies, the astonishing Marianne Jean-Baptiste plays Pansy, a woman wracked by fear, tormented by afflictions, and prone to raging tirades against her husband, son, and anyone who looks her way. Meanwhile, her easy-going younger sister, played by Michele Austin (Another Year), is a single mother with a life as different from Pansy's as their clashing temperaments - brimming with communal warmth from her salon clients and daughters alike.

Hard Truths takes audiences into the intensities of kinship, duty, and the most enduring of human mysteries: that even through lifetimes of hurt and hardship, we still find ways to love those we call family.
