Hard Truths is Mike Lee’s return to the modern world with a gritty, compassionate, and often darkly humorous exploration of family and the bitter ties that bind us. The film stars Marianne Jean-Baptiste and Michelle Austen. This sweeping film from the master playwright introduces us to the intensity of kinship, debt, and that most enduring of human mysteries: that even through lives filled with pain and hardship, we find ways to love those we call family.
