I was 14 and living in SF when Dan White shot Harvey Milk and George Moscone. I went to City Hall the night of the vigil with my dad.
So, I have a bit of a sentimental attachment to this film. That said, it starts a bit slowly, but it picks up speed and turns out to be a wonderful picture. Worth seeing, especially in light of what's happening - even in California - to the civil rights of gays and lesbians in America.
