Impressive biographical movie

Rating: 7/10 (15 February 2010)

One of Sean Penn's best performance to date, he just did a excellent job portraying the gay American politician Harvey Milk. This is a fine political film of people trying to fight for gay rights, during the 70's when gay people pretty much had a difficult time and didn't have as much equal rights. This isn't one of those movies I would watch again, but for the first time around I was impressed, especially by the superb acting and how it convincingly captures the truth about a whole political movements, and was even compelling at times. This is one of those movies that actually deserves the hype. It is thought provoking while showing politics and equality.
7.6/10
