His life changed history. His courage changed lives. Academy Award® winner Sean Penn stars in this stirring celebration of Harvey Milk, a true man of the people.

Top Critics' Reviews
Fresh: Penn may be the main attraction, but this is very much an ensemble piece. Emile Hirsch, as cheeky street kid turned activist Cleve Jones, Diego Luna as Milk's annoyingly needy, unstable second lover and James Franco's Scott, add to the communal spirit.
Fresh: Sean Penn gives a meticulously detailed performance as the cagey and charismatic pol, but credit should also go to Dustin Lance Black, whose script squarely locates Milk at the center of his community, his city, and his cause.
Fresh: At the moment, it's my favorite movie of the year.
Fresh: Milk is fortuitously, if inevitably, a movie of its moment.
Customer Reviews
Incredible.
This movie was incredible. Sean Penn did a AMAZING job as Harvey Milk. Considering who Sean Penn is, this role was a huge step for him. My father has worked with him, and has said that Penn isn't the most gentle of men, hehe (: His portrayal of Milk was outstanding. Worth every penny! (:
Sean Penn gives the performance of his career in "Milk"
"Milk" is a beautifully told story elevated by the mesmerizing performance by Sean Penn playing Harvey Milk. This is a very important film, that shouldn't be missed. Out of all the films nominated this year for Best Picture, this was the only one in my opinion truly deserving of the nomination and should have won. From the well written screenplay by Dustin Lance Black, to the energetic feel and life brought to the screen by Gus Van Sant's direction. This is the year's best film.
Best film
Best film ever (literally, I actually thought about every film I've seen and this is the best). See it. I beg of you. See it.
