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.

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.

love this

Very good message. Never give up. But there are a couple of scenes that i think are innopropriate for 12 and under kids

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.

This would be good for all 12+ people with all the hatred now of day.

This was the first R-rated film I saw. It is an absolutely brilliant film examining one of my personal idols. Know that it does portray gay characters in a positive light if that sways you one way or another, and also that my mother had covered my 12-year-old face for several scenes in the movie but you'll know when they come. But the most important rule here is to know your kids and what they are comfortable with.

I agree with lyra, this movie does have mature themes BUT it is a must-watch movie for anyone living in the bay area. It is a very inspirational film, especially with the passing of prop 8. As for age, 12+ is my opinion - as long as you know what to expect

Yeah, so I'm 13. So what??!! Milk is so so so so so good. I'm encouraging all of my friends to see it, and most of my teachers. My parents took me and my 11 year old brother to see it, because it's a very important topic. Especially with everything going on right now about gay rights, like Prop 8 (which totally should NOT have won, and I'm really mad!!!). There are inappropriate bits, I guess, like the gay men sex and pot and some violence. But if you/your kid really wants to see it and they care about gay rights (or just want to see Sean Penn in a winning Oscar role) and they're older than ten and pretty mature, then they should be able to see it. Lots of Oscars with Milk, I'd say. (also if you are from San Francisco or even Marin, like me, you should seriously see it because it's cool seeing familiar sights in a movie. see it in the Castro!!!)
