Hard Truths

Pansy is a woman tormented by anger and depression, hypersensitive to the slightest possible offence and ever ready to fly off the handle. She picks fights with family, strangers and sales clerks and enumerates the world's countless flaws to anyone who will listen, especially her cheerful sister Chantal, who, despite their clashing temperaments, might be the only person still capable of sympathising with her. Directed by Mike Leigh and starring Marianne Jean-Baptiste, Michele Austin and David Webber.
