Just saw this at a private screening... fantabulous!

While I totally HATE the actor Sean Penn, he did an outstanding job in this film.

The film is a about the life and murder of a San Francisco openly gay supervisor Harvey Milk who was assassinated along with Mayor George Moscone by San Francisco Supervisor Dan White.

While this film is somewhat fictional, the best "true documentary" of the history and events is "The Times of Harvey Milk" (1984) which is excellent (The Junk-food Twinkie defense).

Watch them both!

4 outta 5 stars...!

Immediately upon first viewing of the trailer I knew Shawn Pen would get an acting nomination because the Academy eats stuff like this up. Ooops, did I just give away one of the nominations?
