THIS MOVIE IS: Understated, Intimate, Romantic

A young couple’s interracial marriage in 1958 sparks a case the leads to the Supreme Court. Based on the true story of Richard and Mildred Loving. It’s a complex, subtle, quiet performance that gains its power through its believability more than the showiness we’ve come to expect in films like this one. “Loving” has few twists and turns. It is a rather straightforward drama, and therefore probably won’t be flashy enough for some viewers.
