A Very Poignent Film in 2008
3/4 stars

Until this movie was released, I had never even heard of Harvey Milk, but I'm glad I have now. This movie couldn't have come out at a better time with Prop 8 passing in San Francisco and other states trying to ban gay marraige. Sean Penn is awesome as Mr. Milk as is the rest of the cast, especially Emile Hirsch. Surprisingly, I found the quite possibly one of the worst acting jobs to be Josh Brolin, it's as if he didn't put his whole heart into the charcter of Dan White. Overall a good movie, which I rated with 3 stars because I felt it just wasn't quite 3.5 worthy.
