GFT
This understated drama, based on the true story of Richard and Mildred Loving (Joel Edgerton and Ruth Negga), takes us to Virginia in the 1950s and ‘60s. The lives of the central characters, an interracial couple, get severely disrupted when local authorities discover they are married, violating state laws. Uprooted from their home, the Lovings engage in a history-making battle for justice that takes them all the way to the Supreme Court. Director Jeff Nichols (Midnight Special) delivers a sensitive and moving portrait of the Loving couple. An uplifting film, especially relevant for present-day America.
