About
If you want a warm, humor-filled true-story about unlikely allies facing prejudice, Pride delivers—Not for you if you prefer a straightforward, tightly focused narrative rather than a big ensemble, like Billy Elliot or Beautiful Thing.
Pros: feel-good friendship; sharp 80s mood; uplifting solidarity | Cons: too many characters; occasionally uneven focus; accents can be hard
