 Nominated for 5 Oscars and winner of 3 BAFTA awards, Mike Leigh’s hilarious, bittersweet comedy is an unmissable and moving slice of real life. Secrets and Lies centres around Cynthia, a sad, unmarried mother who works in a factory and lives in a shabby terraced house with a confrontational daughter, Roxanne. Cynthia develops a strong friendship with Hortense, a young black optometrist whose adoptive parents have recently died. When Cynthia’s wealthy brother Maurice and his snooty wife Monica throw a small BBQ party for Roxanne’s 21st birthday, Cynthia invites Hortense along however, chaos ensues as some painful truths are revealed. |
