  • Review Quotes

    • "On a project whose greatest danger lay in its potential to come across as agenda-driven agitprop, the filmmakers have crucially infused the story with qualities in very short supply today -- gentleness and a humane embrace of all it' characters, even of the entirely vilifiable gunman."VarietyVariety: Milk Review (November 2, 2008)
    • "On the whole, it's a shame Gus Van Sant was working from such a by-the-book, greatest hits screenplay, but his creativity as a director allows the film to steer clear of some anticipated pitfalls."—In ContentionInContention: Thoughts on Milk and Frost (October 28, 2008)
