Movie Review – Milk (2008) – 4.5 Stars
Of course, with the best actor Oscar and all, I knew that Sean Penn was going to be good in this film, but I really wasn’t quite prepared for just how brilliant his portrayal of Harvey Milk was. There was very little to fault in this movie. The writing and directing were great, and the editing perfectly blended the performance footage with the archival footage from the 70s. And as far as performances go, there was no one bringing the tone down. It was truly eye-opening, and genuinely moving; which is a rare thing in to find in a film.
