Quite simply, one of the best movies of the year so far. Read full review

What a cast Pride has — some of the best famous actors in Britain and lesser-known younger ones that will (soon) take their place in the firmament. Read full review

This film moves effortlessly from some pretty intense dramatic moments to hilarious scenes showcasing the contrasting lifestyles of the gay and straight worlds to some vignettes of incredible poignancy. Read full review

While some broad strokes won’t be to everybody’s taste... overall the film is so warmhearted, its themes of friendship and mutual respect so resonant, that few will begrudge it such heightened moments. Read full review

British screen stalwarts Bill Nighy and Imelda Staunton appear as locals - he twitchy and reticent, she chatty and full of cheer, both with their hearts in the right place. Read full review

One one level, Pride is as fake as a lip-sync revue, yet the emotions it arouses are real. Read full review

The film the tough true story has spawned is as formulaically cheery, didactically "uplifting," and fundamentally false as a Disney sports movie. Read full review

Excellent movie is a sea of wasteland. Raises the human spirit and shows what can be achieved with a united front against those who would repress us. A must see.

A beautiful film about how the world would work. People help other people, no matter age, gender, sexual preferences, color. And the best of this film is that is a true story, so that proves the humanity can do the things right. I love it

Wonderful from beginning to end. Much better than I expected and very heartfelt. AND based on true events. You will enjoy! Good acting by all, and it has a great sound track.

A fantastic true story told in a very appropriate manner - lots of fun, laughter and there is also a lot of meaning behind this film. The film has been well edited and has a good structure from start to finish. Certainly worth watching.

Pride is a great historical film. Above all its very enjoyable. Matthew Warchus, the director, brings together the film and makes it something that can't be easily forgotten; which is interesting considering Warchus only has one other directing nod for his, not so beloved, late 90s film,Pride is a great historical film. Above all its very enjoyable. Matthew Warchus, the director, brings together the film and makes it something that can't be easily forgotten; which is interesting considering Warchus only has one other directing nod for his, not so beloved, late 90s film, Simpatico. The film is funny but yet still passionate in its telling of the story of the coming together of the Gay and Lesbian community and the Miners during the mid 80s in the UK. The movie includes some incredible performances by the entire cast including amazing performances by George Mackay and Imelda Staunton. Pride is uplifting and entertaining and I would recommend it for all.… Expand
