We've seen this movie two or three times, and plan to own it when it comes to video. This is a fascinating story about Harvey Milk, California's first openly gay government offical. With looks at the awkward politics and religious aspirations of the 1970s and onward, when trying to define and control civil rights, this film makes most people cringe, and often for completely different reasons.
Sean Penn, Emile Hirsch, Josh Brolin, and others are outstanding.
