A tour-de-france film for Gus Van Sant! Milk is a triumph that will not be easily forgotten. Sean Penn turns in one of his best performances ever as Harvey Milk, same goes for Josh Brolin as Dan White, the man who eventually assassinates both Milk and San Francisco mayor Moscone.

James Franco finishes a hell of a year with an amazing job playing Milk's lover. Dustin Lance Black has written a landmark script that gave Van Sant everything he needed to film the movie with the detail and precission necissary.

I had to clap loudly at the end to hold myself back from tearing up.
