Review of Milk (2008) by Billys. — 24 Dec 2008
The simple facts are: 1) Milk is a Masterpiece. 2) Gus Van Sant is the Best Independent film director working today. 3) Josh Brolin, Emile Hirsch and James Franco give the Best Tri-performances in a film since James Caan, Robert Duvall and Al Pacino all earned Oscar nominations for The Godfather in 1972.
4) Harris Savides, focusing on a whistle laying on the ground, has created the single greatest shot I've seen in a film this year. and 5) This film IS Sean Penn's. There are those who say that Mr.
Penn has found the perfect role in this, his long, still young, carreer. But the fact is this - Sean Penn is the Perfect Actor and any role he takes on will simply become the Perfect Role. He is his generation's Clint Eastwood and Warren Beatty with Directing and Writing Oscars on the Horizon.
