CGiii Comment
The original Milk - and what a terrible film it is.
The only reason that this should survive incineration is as a masterclass on how not to make a film.
The acting is sub-par...but, it's the direction that leaves much to be desired - the narrative arc is all over the place and for such an important story...it falls short of any impact whatsoever.
Ichaso and the writers should hang themselves with shame at this miscarriage of justice.
No trailer...

The true story of the assassination of San Francisco Mayor George Moscone and City Supervisor Harvey Milk on November 27, 1978. The case of assassin Dan White has become known as the "Twinkie defense" after his sentence was reduced from first-degree murder to voluntary manslaughter. White served five years in prison and committed suicide in 1985. This film is based on 'Emily Mann''s play.
