British actress Marianne Jean-Baptiste is garnering attention for her role in Mike Leigh’s film ‘Hard Truths’, which explores themes of depression and family dynamics. Nearly 30 years after her first Oscar nomination, Jean-Baptiste’s performance has led to renewed awards buzz, and she may become the first black British actress to receive two Oscar nominations. The film’s complexity and depth highlight the challenges of mental illness, with Jean-Baptiste noting the character’s struggles are often left unaddressed by those around her.
