In its total inspirational sweep, it earns comparison to the movement it chronicles - as an organized, well-calculated piece of political theater.

The important twist is that Pride seems to capture the essence of reality, giving it the recognition it deserves. Truth really is stranger than fiction, and Pride tells that truth with flair.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Jan 5, 2015

[Pride] is bright, perky and ostentatiously warm-hearted. I hated almost every minute.

| Original Score: 1/5 | Jan 5, 2015

It's impossible to single out one performance. Family feeling animates the whole cast and as the fight against bigotry intensifies, so does the spirit of mutual affection. It's the real thing, Ealing revisited in brighter plumage.

Pride offers all the virtues we expect from an English comedy. It's dry, surprising, compassionate, politically savvy, emotionally rewarding and stacked to the gills with great actors doing solid work.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Oct 29, 2014

It's a feel-good movie that does more than temporarily lift your spirits - it makes you feel a little better about the world, and about our capacity to set aside differences and clasp hands.

A thoroughly enjoyable movie.
