DESCRIPTION:Acclaimed filmmaker and playwright Mike Leigh returns to the co
 ntemporary world—after his prickly biopic Mr. Turner and his uprising ep
 ic Peterloo—with a fierce\, compassionate\, and often darkly humorous st
 udy of family and the frayed ties that bind us.\n\nReunited with Leigh for
  the first time since multiple Oscar-nominated Secrets and Lies\, the asto
 nishing Marianne Jean-Baptiste plays Pansy\, a woman wracked by fear\, tor
 mented by afflictions\, and prone to raging tirades against her husband\, 
 son\, and anyone who looks her way—recalling the hair-trigger main chara
 cter of Leigh’s masterpiece Naked but with a more relatable twist. Meanw
 hile\, her warm\, easygoing\, preternaturally patient younger sister (Mich
 ele Austin\, Another Year)\, is a single mother with a life as different f
 rom Pansy’s as their clashing temperaments.\n\nThis intimate film is ful
 l of the rich character work that distinguishes Leigh’s filmography\, bu
 rrowing into the intensities of kinship\, duty\, and the most enduring of 
 human mysteries: that even through lifetimes of hurt and hardship\, we sti
 ll find ways to love those we call family.
