‘Hard Truths’ Trailer: Marianne Jean-Baptiste Can’t Stop Her Angry Tirades in Mike Leigh’s New Film
The first trial for Mike Leigh's 'Hard Truths' sees Marianne Jean-Baptiste embark on an angry tirade against both the public and her family
The first trailer for Mike Leigh ‘s latest feature “ Hard Truths ” had been unveiled, showing its lead star Marianne Jean-Baptiste embarking on an angry rampage against supermarket check out clerks, unsuspecting members of the public and her family.
