Loving



Loving celebrates the real-life courage and commitment of interracial couple Richard and Mildred Loving, who married and then spent the next nine years fighting for the right to live as a family in their Virginia hometown.  Their civil rights case, Loving v. Virginia, went all the way to the Supreme Court, which in 1967 reaffirmed the very foundation of the right to marry - and has gone down in history as an inspiration to couples everywhere.  Slow at times but a piece of history that needs to be told.  I give it a 7.  Stars Joel Edgerton and Ruth Negga.
