Milk

Milk

Wow.
I mean, wow!

Honestly, the most important film of my life. So powerful. Harvey Milk is one of my all-time heroes and to see a movie about him done well made me so incredibly happy.

I was in tears for 45 minutes after seeing it.

I haven't been this moved since Brokeback. I think it should go up for and win all the major awards out there. Sean Penn should win Best Actor. And I have long loathed James Franco (almost Ryan Phillipe loathing level), but his performance in this was solid. I love him now.

Five stars.

ETA: It was also out of the closet gay. They showed a lot in this film for a mainstream flick. I loved that. It was in good hands from the very beginning methinks. Focus Features knocks another one out of the park.
