This Audience Favorite from the Mill Valley Film Festival celebrates the real-life courage and commitment of an interracial couple in the American South of the 1950s. Joel Edgerton and Ruth Negga star as Richard and Mildred Loving, who endured censure, jail and constant uprooting, and whose civil rights case, Loving v. Virginia, would go all the way to the Supreme Court to reaffirm the very foundation of the right to marry. Written and directed by Jeff Nichols (Midnight Special), Loving transcends melodrama to create an intimate and authentic portrait of the ways that laws can impact the freedom of ordinary Americans. Rated PG-13. With Michael Shannon, Marton Csokas, Nick Kroll. Writer/Director: Jeff Nichols. (US 2016) 123 min.
