Wonderful biopic. World-class performance by Sean Penn. The quality of his work has increased noticeably, especially after seeing "Mystic River." This time, he has grown exponentially as well as shown a vulnerability in playing a gay icon like Harvey Milk. I applaud him for having the guts to do this role. Oh, btw, I actually DID applaud at the end of the movie. I'll see it again and own it on DVD.
