Time Out London
It’s a joyous film, full of love and warmth but unafraid to admit that with sticking out your neck comes struggle and sorrow. Truly lovely. - 90
The New Yorker
Pride is brilliantly entertaining just as it is, so I trust that no one connected with the film will be insulted if I say that, despite the existence of shows with similarly stirring themes, like “Billy Elliot” and “Kinky Boots,” the story would make a terrific musical. - 88
Rolling Stone
Pride naively thinks it can change the world with a single movie. Talk about fighting spirit. I couldn't have liked it more. - 88
Observer
A joyous, well-researched and liberating film in the feel-good spirit of "Billy Elliot," "The Full Monty" and "Calendar Girls." - 80
Empire
A clear winner that makes you laugh, cry, and generally want to party and parade like it’s 1984. - 80
Total Film
A feel-good charmer with an important message, Pride will have you clutching your sides, wiping your eyes and punching the air in triumph. - 75
Entertainment Weekly
Celebrated theater director Mathew Warchus (Matilda, The Norman Conquests) unstiffens many of the script's clichés by affecting a sparkling, musical tone — producers have stated their intentions to bring Pride to Broadway, à la fellow miners-strike movie "Billy Elliot." - 75
New York Post
Stephen Beresford’s script’s has its cornball fish-out-of-water touches to be sure, but Pride is a bona fide crowd-pleaser — wearing its heart on its sleeve as the film builds to an ending that’s as satisfying as it is surprising.
