Film
American gay-rights-hero Harvey Milk has already been the subject of
one brilliant film: 1984's Oscar-winning documentary
The Times of
Harvey Milk. But thanks to the
world-class artistry of director
Gus Van Sant and star Sean Penn, the Hollywood version of Milk's
life story holds its own with the existing classic. Packed with lovely
performances and the type of
freaky plot twists you cannot make
up,
Milk will make you laugh, cry, and consider sending Penn
a thank-you note. (
