A good bio of slain councilman Harvey Milk, and a great performance by Sean Penn. The film focuses on Milk's rise to his seat on the San Francisco board of supervisors through a few unsuccessful attempts. Once there, he sets his sights on the new anti-gay movement of the time - banning teachers from schools who are openly gay. A great supporting cast, particularly James Franco. A very timely film, given the recent passing of Prop 8. Penn definitely gives one of the best performances of the year. He embodies the character so well he disappears into it.
