One of the best movies out there. Sean Penn's performance was amazing and he most certainly earned that Oscar. All the actors were fantastic. I loved James Franco's performance and character, Scotty, and I also loved Emile Hirsch's acting and character Cleve Jones. Great movie. Very inspiring and moving.
A brilliant and beautiful movie. The language is R-level, but teenagers say this stuff anyway, they can handle it. No use pretending. The sexual content and violence are nothing you wouldn't see in a PG-13 film, honestly. As for the message -- it's a movie about human rights and the right to love. It's a very good movie if you want to instill moral values in your kids.
Every single person who voted for prop 8 should be forced to see this. The acting was beautiful and there was not too much in the way of inappropriate things. It was a great movie.
sean penn is the best actor hands down compared to richard jenkins brad pitt frank langella and micky rourke. he is the best the movie is second only to slumdog millionaire josh brolin does not deserve an oscar nomination. the film does it is well directed breilliantly acted and is splended the film is about harvy milk who was asasinated by dan white played by josh brolin. the film cronicles his life from 40 to his death the film is inspirational and better than button and frost nixxon. i saw this film in january while it was still in theaters and bought it today i love milk i can't stop saying it . go rent this movie you will love this materpiece biopic
I Cried and Cried and Cried Some More----Amazing Movie
Sean Penn and the entire cast were amazing. Well done--balanced movie. Very educational---some curses and two backside shots and of course two (not bloody) shootings.
Makes one really think about discrimination and how some things haven't changed. I cried during the movie and after. I would say for a mature 13 year old to 15+ for an audience.
Milk gave Sean Penn his second oscar and it was well deserved as he played Gay rights activist Harvey Milk. the movie is a stirring account of how he tried to give homosexuals freedom until he was brought to his death by Dan White.
Very good film. The message of the movie was positive and hopeful, the script was good and Sean Penn and the supporting actors were great. Although not really explicit some of the sexual content is not suitable for children.There is strong language and an intense violent scene near the end of the movie. I recommend this movie for people 14 and above.
A wonderful and powerful movie about a little known chapter in american history. a couple of sexual scenes (between guys) but know big deal for anybody 15 or over, in my opinion. Also a breif but upsetting shooting scene at the end which is very sudden and shocking. But a great movie and an important one to see for anybody who's old enough.
I greatly enjoyed this film; I was raised in a very open family around lots of different people, and both of my parents agreed that it is never too early to expose children to various lifestyles and the need to accept others. However, my kids are too young for this movie, there is no graphic sex, but there are hints (and if you are against homosexuality you won't like this film) there is some violence, and there is a scene where a man's dead body is shown after he commits suicide. There are tons of good values in this movie: the acceptance of those who are different, perserverance and beating the odds, and fighting for what you believe in. A very eye-opening and moving film, but iffy for young kids who may not understand homosexuality or the goals of this film; rated on for kids 13 and older.
