Milk (2008) (R)

Quicklook Rating★★★½

synopsis

In 1977, Harvey Milk was elected to the San Francisco Board of Supervisors, becoming the first openly gay man to be voted into public office in America. His victory was not just a victory for gay rights; he forged coalitions across the political spectrum. From senior citizens to union workers, Harvey Milk changed the very nature of what it means to be a fighter for human rights and became, before his untimely death in 1978, a hero for all Americans. "Milk" charts the last 8 years of his life, from his relocation to Californa through his election campaign, activism, and ill-fated association with fellow supervisor Dan White.

MovieGoer Review

Milk is a moving and important film for our times with a tremendous performance by Sean Penn.
