British director Mike Leigh’s return to domestic, working-class London after two successful side trips to the 19th century (2014’s Mr. Turner and 2018’s Peterloo) is titled Hard Truths. It’s a name that could apply to many of the great director’s films, most notably his Palme d’Or winner from 1996, Secrets & Lies. Although almost 30 years separate that film from Hard Truths, Leigh has lost none of his ability to effortlessly mine the mysterious emotional depths of his characters without sentimentality, comment, or even necessarily closure.
