Pride
Saw a preview screening today, released on Friday.
Wonderful film with a great ensemble cast and very important story to tell. Great fun with loads of humour and some poignant moments too.
A few dodgy Welsh accents, but they didn't spoil the whole.
The sort of film we Brits do best. Loved it

It really is a wonderful joyous and inspiring film - I would encourage everyone to go and see it. It packs a real emotional punch and I don't think there was a dry eye in the cinema when the final scenes aired.
Heres a documentary made by the people themselves back in the day:

erm, no, being gay or indeed a minor are not requirements for enjoying the film. Much like being a horse or indeed a solider were not requirements for enjoying war horse....
I'm not and I did.....but a sense of humour helps
Read a couple of reviews - they are nearly all positive. It's message is about apparently disparate groups accepting each other's differences and standing together against a common enemy.
It's inspiring, funny, poignant, well written and brilliantly acted.
Take a chance.
I hadn't heard the history of the events, but read the review and thought I'd give it a go, pleased I did.
I've heard it helps if you are a lion.
and what a sad ignorant comment from the poster a few posts above
Yes, you have to be gay to see this film. Cinemas all across the UK are banning all straight people to see it.
What a twit.
FFS! It was actually a relevant comment. I've just returned from watching this film and absolutely LOVED it. Would you have been so insulting if I'd asked if it was political?
Anyway, it's neither. It's a fantastic story, brilliantly done. I'd say one of the best films I've ever seen in my life.
Wasn't too keen on Dominic West in this though, that's the only thing that spoilt an otherwise superb film.
Superb story and great cast.A few laughs,a few tears and a brilliant ending.
10/10
Inspiring, profound and an indication of what gay pride used to be about and what a shambles it is in 2014
Loved the ending,
Sounds like the film played down Ashton's political motivations (especially for the American market) but IMO there is nothing wrong with joining another cause to foster camaraderie.
From what I gather, Ashton did belive quite strongly what was said in the film, that if you oppose discrimination against one group you have to oppose it to all. But it's fair to say he was also pretty shrewd about it, which obviously isn't highlighted in the film so much. It's also fair to say his strong communist beliefs are more implied than openly stated. But the latter is, I think, more because the film was about activism rather than political affliation. This is, after all, a film with only a limited US theatrical release.
Inspiring
OMG so amazing.
That Ben guy who played Mark is hot is fck and American :O
What if your a 'bear'?.....;)
Sky Movies are currently showing it. I don't know how lucky not it will be between them having it and it being picked up by any terrestrial channel.
