Hard Truths

26 January 2025: I make no secret of the fact that I am an easy movie crier. I mean, I cried during Presence and would have cried more when it was over, but didn't want to look too strange leaving the theater. So perhaps it isn't surprising that I cried more than once watching Hard Truths. And my goodness: the folks upset about Marianne Jean-Baptiste not getting an Oscar nomination are absolutely right. (And Michele Austin, too!)
