Rating:  - Great.
This is a great movie, and protrays the actual events tastefully. Only wish I couldve gotten this on DVD.
Rating: - Follow-Up to Another Review
In another review, someone asked what happened to the real Mr. and Mrs. Loving. I have read several newspaper/magazine about the Lovings. Richard Lovings was killed in a car accident shortly after he and Mildred were able to return to Virginia permanently. Mildred became blind in one eye as a result of the accident.

Rating:  - Flawed exploration of a milestone
The story falls short in bringing Mildred and Richard alive. It jumps too quickly into the love story, failing to acquaint us with either of them as a person, failing to give us any idea why a rural working-class white man born and raised in the Jim Crow South would choose to marry the black woman he loved instead of enjoying her in the bushes, as his contemporaries did with their communities' tacit approval.

Rating:  - Better than average telefilm on interracial marriage
One of the better TV movies, Mr. & Mrs. Loving focuses on the real-life story of a white man and an African-American/Native American woman who marry in DC but live in Virginia. Virginia prosecutes them for violating its anti-miscegenation statutes, and the case eventually makes its way to the Supreme Court.
To answer the reader below, Mr. Loving died in car accident in 1975, but the Lovings had 3 children prior to his death.
Rating: - Where are the "real" Mr. and Mrs. Loving?
I have seen this movie. I thought it was wonderful!!! Thumbs up to the actors Lela Rochon and Timothy Hutton for bringing such an emotional story so realistically to life. I cried during several scenes when I first saw the movie. I don't think the chemistry would have been the same with any other actors. What I have wondered about since seeing this movie, is where are the "real" Mr. and Mrs. Loving today? Are they still together? If so, do they still live in VA? Where are their children? Does anyone know? ... Read More
