Preview: Hard Truths + Q&A

The perfect finale for our CineMasters: Mike Leigh season, we can't wait for this preview screening of his latest release, Hard Truths, followed by a Q&A with actress Michele Austin who plays Pansy's sister Chantelle. The film will return to GFT from 31 January - 13 February, with tickets for standard screenings on sale HERE. Housewife Pansy (Marianne Jean-Baptiste) is not happy. She is agoraphobic, a hypochondriac and paranoid about animals, birds, insects, plants, and flowers. She is confrontational with everyone, especially her plumber husband Curtley and her unemployed son Moses, whom she thinks is wasting his life. Her sister Chantelle (Michele Austin) runs a thriving hair salon. A single mum, she enjoys life, and lives harmoniously with her daughters Kayla, who works in cosmetics, and Aleisha, a trainee lawyer. Leigh’s new film explores family relationships in the post-pandemic world. After over a decade spent making his two epic period films Mr. Turner and Peterloo, Mike Leigh returns to his ongoing exploration of the contemporary world with this tragi-comic study of human strengths and weaknesses.DramaPT1H37M12A2025-01-26
