Atom User Reviews for Hard Truths
Was crazy but very good have you waning more for sure
An odd movie of family relationships that leaves you to your own interpretation of why or cause of the situation of the main character - why so morose and sullen. 🤷🏽♀️ Very well executed!
Metacritic
Writer-director Mike Leigh is 81 years old, and his movies consistently have a fire that's practically adolescent while imparting a wisdom that's possibly ancient. Hard Truths is a tragi-comedy character study of near-febrile vitality. And, entering the sweepstakes rather late in the game, it's one of the very few great films of 2024.
Re-entering Mike Leigh’s stomping ground in Hard Truths is both a solace and, in the best possible way, a slap in the face. It’s also an impressively funny ordeal, in that unmistakably morose way no one has ever mastered better than Leigh.
Thanks to a stunning lead performance from Jean-Baptiste and an ending that doesn’t take the easy way out, it is a must-watch.
