Review of Milk? (2012) by Rod E — 02 Jan 2013
Sean Penn richly deserved his Academy Award for this part of Harvey Milk, the first openly homosexual politician in the US. Van Sant paints a convincing picture of 1970's San Francisco, the atmosphere is there, the cause is laid out well enough, there's enough time spend on both Milk's personal life and his political fights, so there's a good balance.
Still, the movie does not entirely satisfy. I think, all in all, this biography is a bit too conventional. Still deserves to be seen.
