LOVING 12
OUT NOW Digital HD 12 june DVD, BD EXTRAS Commentary, Featurettes
After meditative sci-fi Midnight Special, Jeff Nichols does a u-turn with this shocking real-life 1960s tale. Joel Edgerton and Ruth Negga are interracial married couple Richard and Mildred Loving, arrested then exiled under Virginia’s bigoted laws. Even as the drama snowballs – reaching the Supreme Court – Nichols essays elegant restraint, while the performances from Oscar-nominee Negga and Edgerton (coiled with fury throughout) are cast iron. Extras include commentary and a Making Of entitled – wait for it - ‘Making Loving’. James Mottram
