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 itt
This movie is amazing! It has so many different characters with their own storylines, yet you feel connected to each and everyone of them. I cried tears of laughter and sorrow. And Imelda Staunton didn't make me think of professor Umbridge at all. A must see!
A little paint-by-numbers, but it is still pretty good. Lots of solid laughs and a good emotional core. Very British.
It's so rare for a movie to be funny, touching, inspirational and informative without becoming too heavy-handed in any one direction. This movie did a masterful job at weaving many storylines and themes into one neat package. Beyond all of that... it was an absolute joy. At different points I laughed, I thought and I got a little mist in my eye. Is it cliched a bit? Sure, they had to touch on a lot of areas so I think that was bound to happen. I didn't mind as it never crossed over into being sappy.
While watching this film I couldn't help think of what is going on in the world in 2020. Similar struggles exist in the world today and we know exactly how they are going to end up but there continue to be the same kind of people that get in the way. If we work together and care for each other we can change hearts and minds - that's what this movie taught us.

Pride is a touching and super cheerful British film, based on an incredible true story that few are aware. With a wide range of characters that entertains from start to finish, counting a piece of history in the UK as it passes an important message of solidarity, friendship and fighting prejudice.
A group of gays and lesbians decides to start a solidarity campaign to raise money to help families affected by the "Miners' Strike" that began in 1984 due to disagreements with the government of Margaret Thatcher, with the consequence of reacing the Coal Industry. Later titled as the activist group "Gays and Lesbians Support The Miners" they attempt to unite with the "National Union of Miners" but they refuse because they don't wanna be associated with the Gay community for fear of further reprisals by the government and eyes of the people. Determined to continue with the idea, they contact a small village of miners in Wales that accepts immediate help and form a strong and unlikely alliance between the two communities.
The atmosphere takes us back to the 80's through the scenarios, the costumes and the music. Humor is always used wisely and the power of the message is very important. Both communities lived hard times and joined forces to try to overcome the bad things. The film is absolutely political and demonstrates all the prejudice against the gay community during that time also addressing the plague of the HIV virus which appeared in force in the 80's. Is full of good humor, but always creates a great impact on the viewer.
The film show the talents of several British actors involved, from veterans like Bill Nighy and Imelda Staunton, well-known names as Paddy Considine, Andrew Scott and Dominic West and relative new faces like Ben Schnetzer, George MacKay and Faye Marsay that had performances up with the height of all the experienced cast. A meeting of top talent in just one film!
Pride is a touching film with a strong message that shows how prejudice does not go anywhere and all the people united can achieve something, and we all have the same rights, no matter the sexual orientation.
Pride is one of the sincerest movies I watched lately. I laughed many times, cried in the final and I was angry at myself for hold off from watching this movie until this time.
They took a very difficult subject and made it fucking fabulous.
