The Times of Harvey Milk

Alexander Dunkelberger

A classic documentary that brings profound feeling to the life and impact of Harvey Milk. Using insightful interviews and archival footage, this film takes us into the politics and atmosphere of the time. The most surprising thing about the film is the emotional heft that the film is able to conjure, and the impact it has on the viewer. A thoughtful and well made documentary.

Undoubtedly one of the most compelling and well-told narratives in documentary history.

Very simple and straightforward documentary on a simple, strong and fierce person by the name of Harvey Milk, who really did a lot to try and make life easier for homosexuals, heterosexuals... Well, tax-payers in general. It describes his life and troubles in depth without becoming clogged. Good interviews, very well-made and tragic. Recommendable.

Barry Levitt

A simplistic yet truly powerful documentation of, well, the times of Harvey Milk. The candlelight vigil scenes were truly beautiful, and the interviews were deeply personal and very interesting.

Joshuah

despite its very simplistic nature, it's entertaining from start to finish... flawlessly constructed concerning it's subject. it much magnifies the political movement Milk created rather than biographies him. I wish it would have been way longer, but that fact that it is short and to the point makes it very accessible according to all viewers and their opinions.

Richmond Hill

Solid, straight-forward documentary, classically structured around witness statements and recollections coupled with archive footage and a righteous sense of the unjust - and none-the-worse for it.

anarresti

A good documentary about a central figure of the LGBT movement. We learn about the time he was alive, as an activist, the first to be elected to San Francisco's City Hall. And learn his story up to his and San Francisco's Mayor assassinations and the infamous trial of their murderer, that was able to get away with a short seven years sentence of manslaughter. This film has 30 years. A very long time. Or an instant.
