Milk

Plot: Milk is the story of Harvey Milk, from when he opened a store in the Castro district of San Francisco to his election and then the end of his life. It is a saga of the gay movement.

Review: Sean Penn's Harvey Milk is an outstanding performance, and no one can minimize it. The film is a stale & predictable docu-drama about the early gay movement.  The issues in this movie were so important at the time, but today it all seems old and rehashed. The film could have used stronger supporting characters, and some better dialog. Penn is great though. 

Cast and crew:
Sean Penn; directed by Gus Van Sant
