The Pride

Tickets and Information

Disappointing
From the start, the actors seemed to be rushing through their lines felt like they were reading/rattling them off and didnt have believable chemistry with one another. The story ultimately didnt have much to say that was new, either. The contemporary scenes worked better than those set in 1958. Excellent production/technical values sets, costumes, lighting and some flashes of brilliance from Ben Whishaw. Uneven, however, with the most ho-hum title imaginable.

Don't sit in the balcony !
Brilliant acting makes up for any shortcomings in the writing and direction, imho. Its not a feel-good exercise, but an interesting look at the contrasting dangers/limitations experienced by gays separated by half a century. Well, well worth the money. Dont sit upstairs, though, the sight-lines are inexcusably bad.
