About This Movie

Road to Pride is a unique blend of animation and heartfelt storytelling. It captures this vibrant journey of two neighbors from Mt Isa, whose quest for self-discovery is intertwined with themes of loss and identity. The pacing feels almost like a road trip—slow moments for reflection mixed with bursts of color and energy, especially as they approach Mardi Gras. The animation style, with its vivid palettes and fluid movements, effectively mirrors their emotional states. You can really sense Rex's longing and Frankie's search for purpose. The film’s exploration of LGBTQ+ themes and connections feels deep yet accessible, and it's distinct in how it balances humor with poignancy.
