Review of Loving (2016) by Jeremyp — 20 Nov 2016
A solid serious movie about a mixed race country couple whose court case changed the miscegenation laws in 24 states. In the 1960's no less. The acting is superb. Edgerton captures the sullen, withdrawn husband and Negga the more outgoing wife.
It was the wife's letter to Bobby Kennedy that set off the case. The movie captures the era well, the Sheriff and Judge are straight from "deep south white racists" central casting. A true human interest story about a rural couple caught up in government legalized racism.
It never strays from this path keeping the legal issues as sidelines and not the high drama it could have been portrayed as.
