From acclaimed writer/director Jeff Nichols, “Loving” celebrates the real-life courage and commitment of an interracial couple, Richard and Mildred Loving (Joel Edgerton and Ruth Negga), who married and then spent the next nine years fighting for the right to live as a family in their hometown. Their civil rights case, Loving v. Virginia, went all the way to the Supreme Court, which in 1967 reaffirmed the very foundation of the right to marry – and their love story has become an inspiration to couples ever since.
we rented this the other night as the trailer always looked good to us. Based on a true story. Told in a very slow moving fashion. A great story to tell but IMO the director seemed to lose sight of the essence of the film. Nonetheless, based on the historic events of the film it is one worth watching
