Gus Van Sant makes a surprisingly effective and powerful film about the life of Harvey Milk and the gay civil rights movement that still fights strongly. The film is timely in the wake of Proposition 8 that bans gay marriage which makes this film still relevant. Sean Penn delivers a fearless performance along with a fine cast that includes James Franco and Josh Brolin as his lover and nemesis. Van Sant makes a return from his experimental cinema exercises to make this conventional period piece. The film belongs to Sean Penn and ranks him next to Daniel Day-Lewis amongst the best actors in Hollywood. YRCinema's coverage of current releases.
