Alicia I love this movie so much

Tayloriona Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.

Murphy Howard I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.

Tayyab Torres Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.

kindtxgal Scene after scene leaves me as the viewer feeling helplessly wanting....every time. The movie as a whole lacks cohesiveness and most of all PASSION for such a monumental decision by the US Supreme Court. So much more energy could have been added to the characterizations from the couple themselves to the children or their families, the attorneys on either side, the law enforcement folks...dang, the nation as a whole.Missing are crowds of protesters on either side of the issue, and there are multiple false starts without any completion whatsoever. Example: There's the "buildup" of neighbor resistance to the Loving's marriage, specifically in Virginia when they go to live in VIrginia .... finalizing in that scene with a truck ominously following him home one night ... build up, build up ... and the final "dramatic" point is the installation of a telephone by a white installer ...That said, there's logistical points that are failed to be explained ... If a white man realizes that there is a white and black woman co- habituating AGAIN in Virginia .. how is it the law never returns to jail both Richard and "Bean"? Ever. Yet they are still under the thumb of the 25 year suspension...A bar scene with Richard and some black friends and family dramatically focuses on the question of Richard "just divorcing her", but then fizzles into never never land ....The scene with the reporter and cameraman in their living room, surely to have brought attention to their living situation .. .yet NOBODY in Virginia is depicted of knowing much less DOING anything to enforce the sentence ...Attorney scene in front of the Supreme Court ... again ... no passionate opening or closing arguments ... just .... nothing really. There's simply NO climax, no passion, no connection.... Overall, a disappointing movie. I left the film WANTING MORE from almost every single scene, and most certainly some conclusions to the attempted build ups of probable drama.A big ol' pile of mush which is so sad because this ruling by our Supremem Court is the cornerstone upon which current marriages are gauged.

adonis98-743-186503 The story of Richard and Mildred Loving, a couple whose arrest for interracial marriage in 1960s Virginia began a legal battle that would end with the Supreme Court's historic 1967 decision. Loving has it's flaws for sure but it's way better than reviews say in my opinion. Ruth Negga and Joel Edgerton are fantastic and they have a really good chemistry together plus it's just sad seeing such a lovely couple going threw hell and back. Now the film as i said isn't perfect it misses some historical parts, it drags sometimes and i just wish that Edgerton's character could fight back sometimes. Michael Shannon also has a cameo as a photographer for LIFE and it's just a simple role really but still quite shocking seeing him. Overall the movie is dramatic, the leads are really good and it does touch in certain parts but it's not as good as it maybe it could be? (8/10)

donaldricco A good film about a really important case in our nation's history. And it brings to late a shameful period of our collective past that we should never forget. Amazing that a case like this involved a family named Loving! Ruth Negga is awesome in her role, though Joel Edgerton never warmed up for me. And the film drags a bit, costing it a star in my mind. But the story is five stars all the way, and it is a film that should be seen by all! And that last image... wow. Powerful.

vincentlynch-moonoi I was really looking forward to this film. Rarely have I been as disappointed. I couldn't stop thinking of "The Man Who Shot Liberty Valence". I know that sounds weird, but do you remember the most memorable line of dialogue in that film?: "When the legend becomes fact, print the legend." Well, although I have no idea what that facts were about the personalities of Mr. & Mrs. Loving, Mr. Loving is portrayed here as having a personality comparable to a brick. Even if the screenwriters and director had to fudge the truth a bit, it would have been preferable, and the flatness of Joel Edgerton's performance (whether historically accurate or not) is probably the key reason that this film was a flop at the box office. I actually began wondering if Mr. Loving was mildly mentally retarded. Or was it just a BORING performance by Edgerton? I don't know which it was, but in my view, it ruined the film. Why would anyone love this man? As far as Edgerton, at this point I have no desire to see him in another film.A second major flaw here was that we see none of the actual Supreme Court testimony. That would have been very interesting. One of the most important Supreme Court cases in history...and the Court process itself was almost ignored.On the other hand, Ruth Negga was very good as Mrs. Loving, and I enjoyed seeing up-and-coming actor Alano Miller as one of Mr. Loving's Black friends.I'm glad to know more about the case that I have heard so much about over the years, but really, this is a disappointing film.
