The title is more than just a form of shorthand or a clever double-meaning. It is the core of the film. This is about a marriage, a couple deeply in love and devoted to their family, who just want to live together in their home state.

Director Jeff Nichols takes a restrained approach to the story, turning away from bombastic moments and letting Mildred and Richard’s quiet determination and unshakeable bond carry the story.

“Loving” gracefully and truthfully tackles an issue by putting its focus on the human element.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Aug 23, 2022

Loving is less captivating than reservedly steadfast, just as its characters are, settling the viewer into a hushed story that booms with modern-day relevance.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Apr 5, 2022

While I was thrilled at the outcome of the case, I was disappointed that the film didn't develop the Lovings more as individual characters. Even so, Loving is still very much worth the watch.

Loving is a welcome reminder that things can get better.

| Original Score: 4/5 | May 4, 2021

The script could use a bit more dialogue in order to allow the audience to know the characters better. Still, the emotional bond is communicated well.

| Feb 17, 2021

Whatever electric qualities the characters might have comes from their performers, but these are ultimately adornments that find few outlets in the dramatic text. Nichols' commitment to restraint betrays its limitations.

Jeff Nichols new film, Loving, is a timely film worth seeing.

| Nov 10, 2020

It's as if Nichols saw all that could go wrong and worked only to avoid it, not transcend or transform.

The outcome of the 1967 case was a byproduct of the mass struggles of the period. Loving retells the case as social upheaval is once again on the horizon.

A film worth watching due to its historical relevance. [Full review in Spanish]

Nichols makes sure that the film sometimes avoids the predictable conventions that are usually seen in this type of drama. But I don't see empathy. [Full review in Spanish]

| Original Score: 6/10 | Jun 27, 2020

It's very sweet.

| May 6, 2020

It was educational. Great performances... There was just something lacking in the emotional impact of it, which is odd.

| May 6, 2020

It goes beyond the standard biopic and cuts into the heart of this relationship to discover what made it so strong.

| Apr 28, 2020

There is an intimacy in the portrayal of the Lovings, and an authenticity that carries through the film.

| Original Score: A | Oct 21, 2019

Without a doubt, theirs is an important, significant, and formidable story worthy of top tier cinematic representation. Unfortunately, Jeff Nichols' film treatment, Loving, doesn't do them justice.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Oct 3, 2019

By focusing on community, rather than just on Richard and Mildred, the film pushes back against multiple stereotypes.

Edgerton... is very good, along with Negga in this production that, had it not been for streaming, would have gone unnoticed in our country. [Full review in Spanish]
