Review of Loving (2016) by Jcondic — 21 Dec 2016
Loving is a beautiful film that exams the love between this couple through everything they endure. The whole film is simple with very little dialogue, it doesn’t even show the court room proceedings, Nichols chose to avoid the melodramatic plot points a lesser director would have used to make a generic bio flick.
The two lead performances are heartbreaking. The scene where the Life Magazine photographer takes pictures of them on the couch might be one of the most touching scenes of the year. As wary as they are of the man this was a moment where they let their guard down and its beautiful and sad that they couldn’t always be like that.
Instead they had to live looking over their shoulder. Jeff Nichols is two for two this year here’s hoping we don’t’ have to wait to long for his next film.
