I was fortunate enough to get passes for an advanced screening here in Atlanta a few weeks ago. See this movie - it's really engrossing and well made. I felt like Van Sant and Penn captured the essence of Harvey Milk, but perhaps even more importantly, the filmmakers managed to convincingly portray a pivotal period in the history of the gay civil rights movement by mixing recreated moments with footage from the time.

I only lived in San Francisco for a year and a half, but there's no place like it. I got emotional seeing some of the locations used in the film.
