Stu’s Reviews- #270- Film- “Loving”

Genre:  Film

Grade  A

Notable People:   Joel Edgerton, Ruth Negga, Directed by: Jeff Nichols

Title:  Loving

 

Review:  Must see film for the social value. The Lovings were an inter-racial coupe in Virginia in late 50s, who were arrested for co-mingling and made to leave the state. This became a landmark supreme court case on civil rights, and is wonderfully portrayed, with a deep sense of time and place. The two principles are wonderful in these roles, and Edgerton is purely amazing at capturing a very reluctant hero. Well shot, good music. My not be a totally A grade film- but it is so important it gets boosted in my opinion.
