"Loving" celebrates the real-life courage and commitment of an interracial couple, Richard and Mildred Loving, 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 – making their love story an inspiration to couples everywhere.

A slow, heartfelt real-life love-story about an interracial couple who in the 1950s struggle with the biases and laws of a conservative US state. Joel Edgerton is becoming a chameleon actor par excellence, as his simple grouchy guy with a pure heart is the highlight of the film. I also enjoyed Michael Shannon’s cameo. Do not expect a Harlequin romance or big dramatization. The social conflict is addressed off screen by lawyers and the film intimately focuses above all on the
disruption of the harmonic relationship of two people in love. [Cannes]

Another American topic that is supposed to rid racist Americans of racist ideas. And finally, also a movie that makes at least some sense. A totally honest story told in a totally ordinary and realistic form. Joel Edgerton and Ruth Negga put in some absolutely minimalist acting performances, but it was clear from them that they truly live their characters. Jeff Nichols can do this really well in his films and they are trully a pleasure to watch. Or at least I like the way he tells stories. You see he tells it in an absolutely honest manner and 100% realistically. Without any embellishment, frills and prejudice. Americans would deserve to get an enema for their history and this movie fosters this idea in me. By the way, Joel Edgerton’s performance was genius. I haven’t seen an American actor blend with his character so hard. You see, Richard Loving was no easy character. Actually, I am surprised that he did not get an Oscar nomination.

It may not be very dramatic, but it is certainly a much better treatment of the true story of the racially mixed couple Mildred and Richard Loving than the TV movie Mr. & Mrs. Loving. The unforced and very convincing performances by Ruth Negga and Joel Edgerton gave me the feeling that the two really love each other. I have a minor reservation about the running time, which could have been about twenty minutes shorter. (70%)
