Review of Milk (2008) by Carrie Rickey for Philadelphia Inquirer — 23 Sep 2013
For its mesmerizing first two-thirds, Van Sant keeps the film tightly focused on his subject, superbly played by Penn and intimately shot, home-movie style, by Harris Savides. But when the director pulls back to detail Harvey Milk's fight against gay backlash, Milk gets derailed.
And - dare I say it? - didactic.
