Marianne Jean-Baptiste Gives a Performance for the Ages in "Hard Truths"
Briefly

Hortense, played with crystalline restraint by Marianne Jean-Baptiste, didn't give much indication of being a main character, reflecting the film's layered narrative approach.
Leigh's approach is meant to frustrate such narrative hierarchies; his dramas remind us that no one is a supporting player in their own life.
