Mike Leigh’s latest film Hard Truths is coming to Digital and the physical formats, according to an official release from STUDIOCANAL. More on the Hard Truths DVD and Blu-ray below.
The film follows Pansy (Marianne Jean-Baptiste), a bad-tempered hypochondriac who never has a nice word to say about anyone. But as funny as her sharp tongue can sometimes be, it is having dire consequences for her family’s wellbeing. Can her family come together and deliver the tough love that she so desperately needs?
The film got some of the best reviews of Leigh’s career and was released in cinemas earlier this year. We reviewed the film back in January and had the following to say in our review.
Hard Truths is another very successful piece of drama from Leigh that rings with his sense of genuine desire and effort to find something real to tap into in the lives of people you may walk past in the street without giving a second mind to. We never know what is going on in someone else’s life. Leigh’s work, particularly in this key, often reminds you of that fact with a note to remember to be kind and not to jump to conclusions. The empathy in the storytelling and in the performances makes Hard Truths, a very captivating, no-frills drama, that offers little answers and even less resolution to those titular truths, yet is rewarding all the same.
The home premiere release has been set for 17th March with the Hard Truths DVD and Blu-ray coming a little later on 21st April. Details on release extras below.
