"Milk is accessible and instructive, an astute chronicle of big-city politics and the portrait of a warrior whose passion was equaled by his generosity and good humor. Mr Penn, an actor of unmatched emotional intensity and physical discipline, outdoes himself here, playing a character different from any he has portrayed before." New York Times
"The casting and performances are all first class and Diego Luna is especially endearing as Jack Lira, the neurotic, paranoid lover who cannot help but place impossible emotional demands. While the film is a tribute to the political activist Harvey Milk and his achievements, it is also a human story about a man who loves opera and birthday cake. It is a film for anyone who is interested in the human condition - of any sexual orientation." Urban Cinefile
