Reviews

AshAlsharaniIMDB A great film to showcase the importance and the reason why the LGBT community celebrates Pride month, It's about honoring the gay men and women that have fought and protested so courageously to get use to what we are today. Here we follow Mark and a group of his friends in 1984 trying to help a town of miners protesting against Thatcher's government by raising money to help them while facing many hurdles in the way.

kitellis-98121 An absolute feel-good film, beautifully crafted, filled with interesting and well-enacted historical detail, excellent cinematography, top-notch writing, pitch-perfect acting, and classy straightforward directing.Based on a true story, this gem of a film memorialises events which though politically significant are largely overlooked by history. We all remember the miner's strike of 1984-5, but how many people remember (or were ever even aware of) the pivotal role of the gay and lesbian community in that historic clash, or what transpired in British politics as a result of it?This is a terrific film on many levels; as a piece of entertainment it is well-paced and enjoyable throughout, lifting the spirits and raising an occasional tear. As a historical re-enactment it is well researched, enlightening, and nostalgic. As a political commentary it is thoughtful, articulate, intelligent, and avoids pretty much every potential pitfall, with not a sledgehammer to be seen.All in all, a very well-rounded piece of British filmmaking that ticks many boxes. Worth a watch. Or two. Or three...

kz917-1 Pride tells the story of a group of U.K. activists that form a group called Gays & Lesbians Support the Miners. They lead the charge in collecting money and materials to support miners during the strike of the National Union of Mineworkers in 1984. In the telling of this true story a good many of the actual people involved are present during some of the march sequences. Good acting all the way around and an enjoyable film.

meeza The British film "Pride" is based on the true story of U.K. gay activists' work to help miners during their lengthy strike of the National Union of Mineworkers in the summer of 1984. It was a story that I had not heard of before. Director Matthew Warchus' was sure to bring some inspirational elements of the film on how two opposite polar groups can work together for civil rights and fair labor. But Warchus' was sure to implore us with the aforementioned concept a few too times to many; as worthy as the concept is. I am a big fan of 80's New Wave Retro music, so I was very proud of "Pride" to include some U.K. New Wave classics. The ensemble acting was commendable but not sensational; which included Ben Schnetzner as U.K. gay activist leader Mark, Dominic West as the flamboyant Jonathan, and Imelda Stanton as a Miner Committee Member. "Pride" is not the biggest pride film piece from the 2014 movie year, but it has enough activist gravitas to give it a shout. *** Average
