Review of Milk (2008) by Dalem — 05 Feb 2009
The subject was a noble one and the cinematic techniques were good, but I think the film lacked narrative coherence. In one scene, for instance, a guy is at Milk's door. A little bit later they are in a supposedly serious relationship.
Why or how the relationship developed is apparently irrelevant. There are just too many events that do not connect in any causal or even thematic way in this film. I feel that most viewers are so blinded by the movie's message that they excuse the really poor story-telling.
I think, however, that in a few years, when the message is seen in a less spectacular light, the film will soon be either forgotten or someone will do a decent just of fashioning a story out of the material.
