I have never been so elated at a suicide as I was when Harvey Milk's obnoxious Latin lover Jack Lira hanged himself near the end of this movie.
Other than that, this movie was compelling and entertaining enough that I only slightly noticed that it is 12 hours long (there's an intermission in the middle, just like in Gone With the Wind) and that according to this account, Harvey Milk was completely devoid of political ambition for his whole life until one day he's all, "Hey, I'm gay, and on a slightly related note, perchance I will run for office."
p.s. I did NOT cry at the candlelight memorial procession. NO, I DIDN'T. My contacts were bothering me.
