Based on the 1967 civil rights US Supreme Court case which held the banning of interracial marriage was unconstitutional in Virginia. This movie should be required viewing in all high schools. It reveals how terribly we violated the rights of our greatest resource, our fellow human beings and allowing them to be with who they want to be with. Joel Edgerton and especially Ruth Negga will take your breath away with their subtle, beautiful performances. Their quiet determination to be together as Richard and Mildred Loving is achingly romantic and essentially human. This movie should have won best picture as it reflects what makes the human heart so rare and beautiful; it is love. It never grows weary and sustains the greatest of disparaging behaviors.
