Roald Dahl s Matilda the Musical to open BFI London Film Festival. Roald Dahl s Matilda the Musical will open the 66th annual BFI London Film Festival.
“Pride” wears
on its sleeve the desire to make its audience stand up and cheer. It is willing
to occasionally plumb the depths of familiar formula to achieve its goal. Here
is a true story that could have been played as straight drama, yet the
filmmakers opted for a lighter approach to capture hearts and minds. The Brits
do this type of crowd-pleaser far better than Hollywood, if only because films
like “The Full Monty” and “Billy Elliot” were unafraid to temper sweetness with
darker elements of reality. The characters in “Pride” may exist in a frothy cinematic
contraption, but all is not sunshine and roses.
