Review of Milk? (2012) by Byron A — 14 Jul 2011
I confess ignorance about much of the historical and situational circumstances surrounding the movie's plot, except about the general circumstances of the time and place. watching the movie was a great introduction to the historical story for someone like me, though I can imagine a more knowledgable person feeling unfulfilled.
More importantly, the emotional tale of Harvey Milk told here was convincingly real -- and believe this was the film's goal. the sadness, tension and electricity of the setting are palpable. it's enough to make you wish you had been there for all the little victories and excitement around the idea of changing everything, even if it meant having to deal with all the bad that came with it.
