Pride ... The Film

I was looking forward to watching Pride. My daughter had seen and recommended that I shouldn't miss it. My sister and I decided to go together. We got our popcorn and settled down comfortably at the Vue Cinema. As soon as the film started we were both totally engrossed.

This is a brilliant film. I remember the Miner's strike, the scenes on TV back in 1984 appalled me. I have never been a fan of prime minister of that time, I can not even bring myself to say her name, or write it here. As far as I am concerned what she did to the miners and to others during her time as prime minister, I can never forget or forgive. Watching Pride, brought back the anger, the emotion and the sadness that I had felt back in the 1980's.

The film is a must see, it is entertaining, it is a slice of social history, it is funny and sad without being sentimental. The characters are all engaging, the actors portrayal of those characters are real. It is well worth going to the cinema to see it. I would recommend this film to anyone.
