Review of Pride

Pride (I) (2014)
Fantastic
23 December 2014
It really is a shame that this film didn't get more of a campaign behind it. Someone here mentioned weeks ago how it could've easily been a big awards contender had it had some sort of campaign, and that's absolutely true. It's a pretty accessible, pretty feel-good film that absolutely rides on how well the audience takes to it, and while this is usually not at all the kind of film that I take to very much, I thought it was one of the most pleasant surprises of the year, and one of the most entertaining. It's pretty incredibly written on all fronts, with a large but impressive ensemble. The film manages to really find a great balance between how many characters' stories to show and just how much to show of them, being able to give enough of an insight into an impressively amount of characters as to have a great emotional impact. Truly fantastic film, deserved a lot more recognition.
