WTF? this isn't the movie in the poster. It is supposed to be a true story that happened in the 60s about a white man who marries a black woman and they get in trouble with the law or something like that

It's the family name and the description of their relationship. This is the story of an interracial marriage in Virginia in the fifties. Not a good time or good state. Good performances but that "award moment" just wasn't there. The movie suffers from the written and directed syndrome as it is too long and moves at a snails pace. There are plenty of scenes of the leads staring in one direction or another. There are plenty of brick laying lack of action. Various bricks are set at about the same height. There are sewing scenes and real life things that do nothing for the pace of a movie. The old cars are cool, although a certain four door sixty seven Chevy seems to be everywhere. It's a story that should be told. It is part of history. Although it appears to have been shot on film, the cinematography is forgettable. There's a good music score. It is a small movie that doesn't need to be seen in a theater. There is the possibility of dozing off if you're too comfortable watching from the sofa.

Loving (2016) *** (out of 4) Richard Loving (Joel Edgerton) marries his pregnant girlfriend Mildred (Ruth Negga) but soon afterwards they are both arrested. Richard, a white man, and Mildred, a black woman, are forced to plead guilty to avoid prison time but they also must leave the state of Virgina. Soon the ACLU hears their case and tries to get it to the Supreme Court. LOVING is another winner from writer-director Jeff Nichols who is certainly one of the most interesting filmmakers out there. It seems a lot of movies based around race were released in 2016 and many of them were based on true stories, which includes this one. If you're already familiar with the story then it's doubtful anything here will blow you away but at the same time if you're unaware of the court's decision and you're not familiar with these old laws then you're more than likely to really be caught up in the picture. For the most part this is an extremely well-made movie but I must say that there were a few problems that I had with it. For starters, the film is very low-key, which is an interesting way to tell the story and I thought the director perfectly captured the "country life" by filming the picture this way. The problem is that there's really no drama to be had throughout the film as nothing is really played up for the sake of building up any tension or drama. I'm not sure why Nichols went this direction but I really thought it gave the film an almost made-for-television feel. I'd also argue that the lack of any drama leading up to the Supreme Court showdown also took away any emotional impact. With that out of the way, the main reason to watch the film are for its two lead actors. Both Negga and Edgerton did a fantastic job with their roles and the best thing is certainly their chemistry together. I really loved how the two actors worked off one another and they really did make you feel as if you were watching a real couple struggle with this issue. I thought both of them had to do a lot of acting without using too many words, which is a difficult thing to do yet they both pulled it off. The supporting cast of characters were all extremely good as well. As I said, I thought the film lacked a lot of drama or emotion but there's still no doubt that the story itself was a very interesting one and the performances were certainly great.

Saw 'Loving', last night and was blown away by Joel Edgerton's acting. This guy has some real acting chops and is a promising actor. Keep up the good work. The cinematography of this film was beautiful and the music was touching. But I kept thinking that after putting couple of years of work and bringing all these beautiful actors to make this film , why did the director had no warm feelings for his own work? - Why did Jeff Nichols did not explain to the audience that what was the reason that Richard fell in love with this particular Black girl. Why a conservative, silent, cold white man from Virginia would fall in love with a black girl. Why? People just don't fall in love with people, there is a reason if the director ever fell in love, he would know. -Why Mildred's parents and brothers did not have any concerns about this relationship when they knew that the State of Virginia, they live in does not accept interracial marriages. There was not a single scene in the film where the father argued or fought with her daughter for what she was doing. Actually he jumps into the car and goes along with Richard and Mildred to get them married. I did not see director providing a clear reason. I think anybody who would watch the film, will think about it and I am surprised the director did not think about this. Richard keeps going back to Virginia over and over. I mean anybody in this kind of situation would never put their family in this kind of danger of getting caught? Jeff does not give any reasons. -Call from a Supreme Court of USA is the most important thing in any human being's life but the director treats it like it was not really important to this family. I mean Wow! It seems like the director did not really care about these black people's lives and treat all their emotions and successes as if nothing really was important. I can understand it might just be creating a 'style' it does not really work with such sensitive topics. I want to congratulate Joel Edgerton and Ruth Negga and the woman who played mother to Ruth. Thank you for doing such a great job. Michael Shannon had two scenes in the film and he had two different personalities in those scenes. That's what happens when actors become over confident.
