Happy Pride Month
Ever wondered what Pride looks like on the big screen? This. Exactly this. From fan favourites to award winners, we’ve got an iconic line-up coming your way to select venues. But that’s not all! We’ll also be taking donations for Stonewall at our concession stands and our payment provider Adyen will be DOUBLING anything you contribute.
So yeah, check out these top-notch titles and get involved, playing at the following venues;
Pride – At Vue from 16 June - 9 July
What’s this then?
Oh, just a multi-award-nominated true story with an all-star cast. It’s about a group of gay and lesbian activists who raise money to help families affected by the British miner’s strike in 1984. And Bill Nighy’s in it.
Why it’s worth a watch
If you’re not going to watch a film called Pride during Pride month, when else are you going to watch it?
Moonlight – At Vue 16 to 17 June
What’s this then?
You know, the Best Picture winner at the 2017 Oscars? The film that changed the game for under-represented LGBTQIA+ stories? This coming-of-age drama takes us through the three defining chapters of a young black man’s life in Miami – and it hits so, so hard.
Why’s it worth a watch
Poignant storytelling. Next-level performances. Visuals to make you weep. How could anyone watch this just once?
The Birdcage – At Vue 23 to 24 June
What’s this then?
Robin Williams and Nathan Lane delivering iconic comedy gold, that’s what. In this 1996 classic, they play a married gay couple who pretend to be straight so their son can introduce them to his financee's right-wing parents. As you’d expect, chaos ensues.
Why it’s worth a watch
Never had the chance to catch this one on the big screen? Well now you can properly lol with a full audience.
Carol – At Vue 30 June to 1 July
What’s this then?
Rooney Mara falling hopelessly in love with Cate Blanchett after clocking her in a 1950s department store. Can’t exactly blame her, can you? This multi-award-winning romance should be a Pride month staple.
Why it’s worth a watch
Forbidden love tales don’t get much classier and stylish than this. It may be set at Christmas, but who cares? We’d watch it all year round.
Love, Simon – At Vue 7 to 8 July
What’s this then?
An instant hit when it was released in 2018, and still a massive fan favourite. A highschooler (yes, named Simon) contemplates coming out to his friends and family after falling for an anonymous classmate online. Overwhelming anxiety naturally follows…
Why it’s worth a watch
While offering a terrifying insight into the world of online paranoia and the fear of coming out, it’s somehow incredibly easygoing! The word “cute” even comes to mind.
