Loving Filmmaker Jeff Nichols’ portrait of Mildred and Richard Loving, the couple whose Supreme Court case led to the downfall of anti-miscegenation laws in 1967, is most remarkable for its restraint. Rather than elevating the aptly named Lovings into the realm of untouchable heroes, it depicts them as reluctant champions of the Civil Rights Movement, a family whose impact on history stemmed from its simple desire to be left alone to live like any other family. Ruth Negga and Joel Edgerton play their love as neither showy nor remarkable, but with the quiet romance that accompanies everyday domestic life.
