Sinopses(1)
Estamos no verão de 1984 - Margaret Thatcher está no poder e a União Nacional de Mineiros (NUM) está em greve. Durante a marcha do Orgulho Gay, em Londres, um grupo de ativistas gay e lésbicas decide angariar dinheiro para apoiar as famílias dos mineiros em greve. Mas há um problema. O Sindicato parece não querer aceitar este apoio, o que não desencoraja os ativistas, que decidem ir diretamente aos mineiros. Eles escolhem uma aldeia mineira profunda no País de Gales e partem num mini autocarro para entregar a doação pessoalmente. E assim começa a extraordinária história de duas comunidades aparentemente opostas, que formam uma parceria surpreendente e, finalmente, triunfante. (NOS Lusomundo Audiovisuais)

Funny in some places, serious in others.Pride tells a story about an event I knew nothing about until I saw The Imitation Game and found out what Great Britain did to Alan Turing. It is interesting that both of these movies, which are dealing with the discrimination of the homosexual minority in the UK, were released this year. Sometimes you have to drag out some skeletons from the closet. Too bad that for the entire two hours of the running time, the movie bored me terribly. I expected that this British clash of gays and lesbians with the local villagers would be far more brutal, ironic and funny. But that unfortunately wasn’t the case.

Miners dig coal, which turns into energy, allowing gays to party until morning to Bananarama. They also share mistreatment from the government, police, and tabloids. This unexpected alliance, presented in the traditionally tailored British dramedy with a social edge, floods the viewer with optimism and a good mood, despite the characters' struggles and greenhouse gas emissions. It's well-acted (Bill Nighy, Imelda Staunton, Andrew Scott), with a few excellent scenes (the coming out during toast preparation), but unlike the similarly toned Brassed Off, I can't sing along with Jimmy Somerville’s "I can feel heartbeat in my hand."

Pride is a very powerful film whose immediate strength lies in its story based on true events, and in the convincing performances. The film is not lacking in strong moments as well as downright light-hearted and funny scenes, all of which are used with purpose. Of the cast, I would particularly single out the absolutely wonderful Imelda Staunton and Bill Nighy, who impressed me the most, but the other members of the ensemble also performed convincingly. In short, a very well made film with a terrific cast that is a great mix of comedy and drama.

I didn't really know what to expect from this movie, and I have to say that if I expected anything, it wasn't this. It’s a human drama, sometimes quite comedic, about how lesbians and gays tried to help striking miners. The characters are simply excellent, and you will thoroughly experience it with them. The film also breaks homosexual stereotypes, which is nice.
