“Some filmmakers make movies that feel like you could use them to reconstitute cinema if the art form ever vanished. Mike Leigh makes movies that feel like you could use them to reconstitute humanity if we ever vanished.” —Bilge Ebiri, Vulture

Legendary filmmaker Mike Leigh returns to the contemporary world with HARD TRUTHS opening this Fri, Jan 24 — a fierce, compassionate, and often darkly humorous study of family and the thorny ties that bind us. Reunited with Leigh for the first time since multiple Oscar-nominated SECRETS & LIES*, the astonishing Marianne Jean-Baptiste plays Pansy, a woman wracked by fear, tormented by afflictions, and prone to raging tirades against her husband, son, and anyone who looks her way. This expansive film from a master dramatist takes us into the intensities of kinship, duty, and the most enduring of human mysteries: that even through lifetimes of hurt and hardship, we still find ways to love those we call family.

“Everything about this robust and very enjoyable retelling of the Alexandre Dumas classic is epic in scale: from the lavish sets and the orchestral score to the bold performances and the hefty running time. But it is an epic approach that is well-earned...This is a devilishly handsome old-school tale of treachery and intrigue that zips through its nearly three hours in a blur of swordplay, glorious costumes and prosthetic rubber facial disguises.” –Wendy Ide, Screen Daily ...

The ultra emotional and sexually-charged thriller BABYGIRL starring Nicole Kidman, Antonio Banderas, and Harris Dickinson opens on Christmas Day at the Belcourt. (Tickets on sale now at belcourt.org/babygirl or via the link in our bio)
