Loving, which stars Joel Edgerton and Ruth Negga as Richard and Mildred Loving, an interracial couple who married in June 1958, were arrested, thrown into jail, and exiled from the state. For the next nine years, the couple fought for their marriage and the right to return home as a family. Nichols second this year. Set to premiere at Cannes, then start rolling out November 4.
Nick Kroll sort of took me out of that trailer a bit, and honestly, the rest looks so good. I just can't not picture Ruxin saying all that in a mocking way.
So this is basically Nichols doing Sirk. Not as good as his first two, but it's solid prestige drama.
this is really good, I trusted Nichols would be able to avoid cliches but it was still remarkable how well he was able to do it
Very good, admirably restrained. Particularly the proposal scene and the scene where Richard talks with his black friends at the bar.
It is weird how long long he has been gone. He was one of the most promising young directors about a decade ago. His films since Take Shelter have been good, but not on the same level as his first two films.
