Summary

For this week's second podcast review, I am joined by Ema Sasic, Dan Bayer, Nadia Dalimonte & Sara Clements to review and discuss the latest film from Mike Leigh, "Hard Truths," starring Marianne Jean-Baptiste, Michele Austin, David Webber, Tuwaine Barrett, Ani Nelson, Sophia Brown & Jonathan Livingstone. The film had its world premiere at the 2024 Toronto International Film Festival, where it received enthusiastic reviews for Marianne Jean-Baptiste's brilliant performance and Leigh's writing and direction. The film has won numerous prizes for both of them and has received several nominations as well. What did we think of the story, the performances, the balance of comedy and drama from Leigh, and the film's ambiguous ending? Please tune in as we discuss these topics, its awards season chances, and more in our SPOILER-FILLED review. Thank you for listening, and enjoy!
