A very well done movie. I liked that it did not have a courtroom scene, instead it focused on the people. I really liked the personalities portrayed by these actors. Actress Ruth Nagga is Ethiopian. I like Joel Edgerton with brown hair.…

Of all the time in my life that I've wasted, watching this movie has been the most confusing as to how I let it happen. It's like shoving a car down the street with your nose and wondering "Why am I doing this"! Getting the law changed…

Powerful & gripping performances centering around the unassuming & humble Lovings, rural working class Virginians who took on the U.S. anti-miscegenation laws banning interracial marriage. Their case went all the way up to the U.S. Supreme…

Fantastic movie about real people. You can't help but love these characters and be drawn into their lives. Great story-telling!

Difficult to put myself in their shoes, but it must have been a very scary time for interracial relationships.

Good film, a bit on the slow side. I expected more passion from the leads.

A movie based on a true story...which is awesome...BUT the actress is someone who is half white of Irish descent... she looks mostly caucasian...which threw me off...

This movie is based on a true story! The movie could of been better if they would of delved in more about these two meek individuals who fought for civil rights and pioneered new laws and the way we think about love.

An important story told in an understated way, but without the racism to which the couple was no doubt subjected.

This is a completely underwhelming film that should have been much, much better. I completely blame the writer/director for muting down everything to the point that their struggle comes across as a mere inconvenience. Aside from the…

Beautifully unsentimental handling of civil rights. I was so pleasantly surprised that this movie dealt with the issue of marriage rights in such a matter of fact way.

Never was there a more fitting surname for this real-life interracial couple who resisted their state's oppressive laws that denied their right to marriage. It was a hard-fought struggle over many years and one that took them to the…

This is a deeply felt film about a landmark Supreme Court case (Loving vs. Virginia) brought by an interracial couple. As many have said, it's a great story, but it's a bit slow. Ruth Negga and Joel Edgerton are the Lovings, Nick Kroll, in…

There is no much I can add to the previous comments. A memorable movie.

Loved this movie. Beautifully done.

What I like about this film is how different it is compared to other films about the Civil Rights movement. Richard and Mildred Loving weren't activists marching with fellow protesters, fighting against segregation. They were a quiet…

Great film! Really enjoyed it.

Incredibly well cast and beautifully filmed. This movie moves slowly, paralleling the pace of the Lovings' ordeal. At times I felt impatient but remembered how many years they struggled under unjust laws. I think the pace of the film…

The simple story of a southern interracial couple that just wants to live their lives without a lot of fanfare. Some viewers were disturbed by the lack of action, but the director refused to add extraneous fictional material just to make…

Film focuses on the relationship of this pathbreaking couple, rather than the actual court battle. There are genuine moments of sweetness and both main actors carry their roles well in an understated, spare manner. However, it's very…
