The Costumer

Danny Glicker automatically receives a major round of applause from me, simply because he worked with Alan Ball on True Blood. The characters were dressed exactly according to author Charlaine Harris’ descriptions in the Sookie Stackhouse books, so I’m automatically impressed with Glicker’s skill.

Glicker seems to be the perfect candidate for a semi-controversial indie film such as Milk, with his past credits hosting titles such as Towelhead and Transamerica.

The film, set in the late 1970s, features costumes which mark the era, including business suits and wide collars. Though the film does not allow for as great a diversity in costuming as some of its Achievement in Costuming Award competitors, Milk offers a wide variety in the outfits of the time. Each based-on-real-life character was certainly well-researched and dressed according to personality and personal style.
