Loving

Lassú, szívhez szóló, valós életből vett szerelmi történet egy vegyes fajú párról, akik egy konzervatív amerikai állam előítéleteivel és törvényeivel küzdenek az 1950-es években. Edgerton színészi átalakítása példás, az egyszerű, a tiszta szívű morogva karaktere a film csúcspontja. Michael Shannon miniszerepe is élvezetes volt. Ne számítson nagy érzelmekre, sem nagy drámákra. A társadalmi konfliktust itt az ügyvédek a képernyőn kívül kezelik, és a film intimitása elsősorban két szerelmes ember harmonikus kapcsolatának megzavarására irányul. [Cannes] (2016.05.19)

Another American topic that is supposed to rid racist Americans of racist ideas. And finally, also a movie that makes at least some sense. A totally honest story told in a totally ordinary and realistic form. Joel Edgerton and Ruth Negga put in some absolutely minimalist acting performances, but it was clear from them that they truly live their characters. Jeff Nichols can do this really well in his films and they are trully a pleasure to watch. Or at least I like the way he tells stories. You see he tells it in an absolutely honest manner and 100% realistically. Without any embellishment, frills and prejudice. Americans would deserve to get an enema for their history and this movie fosters this idea in me. By the way, Joel Edgerton’s performance was genius. I haven’t seen an American actor blend with his character so hard. You see, Richard Loving was no easy character. Actually, I am surprised that he did not get an Oscar nomination. (2017.02.21)

Another interesting story based on a true event that shows how insane a person can be in trying to suppress something that is natural. People may differ in skin color, but senseless laws turn them into essentially extraterrestrials. All of this is presented very naturally and humanly. (2017.02.20)

It may not be very dramatic, but it is certainly a much better treatment of the true story of the racially mixed couple Mildred and Richard Loving than the TV movie Mr. & Mrs. Loving. The unforced and very convincing performances by Ruth Negga and Joel Edgerton gave me the feeling that the two really love each other. I have a minor reservation about the running time, which could have been about twenty minutes shorter. (70%) (2022.08.23)
