This is a deeply moving portrait of the inspirational Harvey Milk, the first openly gay American politician, who was assassinated in San Francisco in 1978. Sean Penn magnificently captures Milk’s fire and flamboyance. This really does convey the flavour of those liberating times and Milk’s unfailing commitment to what everyone should have: justice, equality, and fairness.
“A total triumph. Penn’s performance is phenomenal” Rolling Stones
Oscar winner Sean Penn, Best Actor
