Caldera Records has announced a soundtrack album for Mike Leigh’s drama Hard Truths. The album features the film’s original music composed by Academy Award nominee Gary Yershon (Mr. Turner, Happy-Go-Lucky, Brighton, Another Year, Trial and Retribution, 23 Walks). Also included is the composer’s score from Leigh’s previous feature Peterloo (partially released as a digital EP back in 2018), as well as the director’s stage plays Grief and Two Thousand Years. Visit the label’s official website to listen to audio samples and for more information about the CD release. A digital version is also expected. Hard Truths is written and directed by Leigh and stars Marianne Jean-Baptiste, Michele Austin, David Webber, Tuwaine Barrett, Ani Nelson, Sophia Brown and Jonathan Livingstone. The movie revolves around a woman wracked by fear, tormented by afflictions, and prone to raging tirades against her son, husband, and anyone who looks her way. The drama, which premiered at last year’s Toronto International Film Festival, received an awards-qualifying release in December and will be released in U.S. theaters this Friday, January 10 by Bleecker Street.
