Milk is primarily a film about grieving and shows one of the many ways this can happen. Robin has her own way. As a society, we have ideas about what a grieving person should look like. With a grieving mother, we have many more. Robin is a quiet, brave rebel and she rebels against the way of grieving that the concerned environment expects of her. She must discover her own path and does so with sincerity.
