Hard Truths

Peter Gibney is a long time agent who is known in the modeling industry for being kind, generous and supportive of the people he represents. Model Hope Harmon has been with Peter the longest of all his clients, close to 15 years. They have a very close, familial relationship and as a result,have made each other very successful. There is a major clothing client, Braden-Willoughby, that Peter has been trying to book Hope with, but the client has confided to Peter that they are not remotely interested in Hope, unless she were willing to undergo, in their words "dramatic changes". While visiting Hope on the set of her latest photo shoot, Peter tries to carefully discuss some hard truths about her future as a model.

Directed by Maya Ahmed, Hard Truths leans on a strong ensemble — Timothy J. Cox, Paige Hoover, Ira Cross — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about drama titles of 2023.
