If you like "I am Sam", you'll love "Milk"!

Rating: 1/10 (28 January 2009)

Great soundtrack, but anyone familiar with news or documentary footage of Harvey Milk will be left cold.
Sean Penn uses his "I am Sam" mentally retarded person's voice for the entire movie, and it seems a bizarre misapplication.
Shot entirely in San Francisco predominantly in the Castro, there are some great recreations of classic movie houses, etc.
Some might also leave the movie with the miss-impression that Milk's death was a hate crime. It was not, rather it was committed by someone who had also worked on Gay Rights issues, and simply hated Milk for a political slight.
