Joshua Oppenheimer delivers a dramatic shift in genre with his 2024 Musical The End. Already a renowned documentarian, best known for his seminal work The Act of Killing which focuses on the remorseless perpetrators of the Indonesian genocide. This is quite the departure as he presents us with an all singing, all dancing exploration into the guilt experienced by those who live to see the end of the world.

Hard Truths, Mike Leigh’s latest offering, is a simultaneously funny and devastating venture into the life of a woman called Pansy played by Marianne Jean-Baptiste. She is suffering from a mental illness so profound it has rendered her fearful and exhausted as she lashes out at everyone around her. The film meditates on human emotions and relationships as we witness Pansy terrorise her closest family members, and strangers alike.
