If you loved Finding Forrester, try Milk

A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.

What they share

Both films are directed by Gus Van Sant, and they sit in Drama / History territory. If that's the register that drew you to Finding Forrester, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What Milk is

All the President's Men without Deep Throat. After moving to San Francisco, Harvey Milk finds his voice as a politician and gay rights leader. A snapshot of late-1970s idealism, shadowed by tragedy.
