"Loving"

I watched the movie "Loving" just before the Oscars and it was very good.  A bit slow in parts but over all very good.  "Loving" is about the interracial couple, Richard and Mildred Loving, who got married in Virginia in 1958 when interracial marriages were illegal.  The movie was based on this true story.  They went to court several times but in 1967 they won the U.S. Supreme court decision that invalidated state laws about interracial marriage.  Ruth Negga was nominated for an Oscar for her role as Mildred Loving.  If you get a chance I would say definitely watch it but know that it is a bit slow.
