Easily Nichols' weakest movie to date. The story was an important one to tell, but maybe not an interesting enough one to allow for entertaining cinema. The movie felt overlong and uneventful and, although I think that's what Nichols was trying to go for, excessively subdued. The main characters' passivity, expecially Richard Loving's, in my opinion downplayed in the eyes of the viewer the gravity of the whole situation. The main stong points are the Negga's and Edgerton's exceptional performances, and a few deeply moving human moments.

An important story to tell, even if it was a bit like watching paint dry. Lots of protracted scenes without dialog against a lullaby soundtrack.

I watched this because Ruth Negga is nominated for an Oscar for this role, otherwise the movie may have slipped my attention, and that would have been a loss. This was a great movie, with great acting and an important story. The era that these people lived in, and the brutality that was ever present for people who were making the decision they made was ever a potential, and the film makers used this effectively as an ever present tension in their storytelling. This soft-spoken, non-political couple changed history. I give it a 9 (superb) out of 10. And Ruth Negga is a worthy nominee, in a tight race for her category.

This movie was shown in the sneak preview at our cinema, so I did not know what to expect, and actually I haven't heard from it before (at least in Germany there was no advertising for it at all). I found it hard to rate, and would like to split it into two aspects:
1) The story, which is a sto More

**The choices of life we want to live are ours to make.**

The film was inspired by the real life event, book and the documentary film. The message was awesome, but it's more like a personal. At least from the film's perspective about a couple and their struggle. Also the personalities of those tw More
