Jeff Nichols’ Loving tells the true story of Richard and Mildred Loving, the interracial couple who’s U.S. Supreme Court case (Loving v. Virginia) changed the landscape of the right to marry forever. Ruth Negga (Preacher) stars as Mildred and Joel Edgerton (The Great Gatsby) stars as Richard. The film was written and directed by Jeff Nichols (Midnight Special, Take Shelter) and co-stars Nick Kroll and Michael Shannon.

The 2016 Cannes Film Festival entry will be released by Focus Features (The Theory of Everything, Brokeback Mountain, Dallas Buyers Club) on November 4th.

Here is the trailer:

Erik Anderson is the founder/owner and Editor-in-Chief of AwardsWatch and has always loved all things Oscar, having watched the Academy Awards since he was in single digits; making lists, rankings and predictions throughout the show. This led him down the path to obsessing about awards. Much later, he found himself in film school and the film forums of GoldDerby, and then migrated over to the former Oscarwatch (now AwardsDaily), before breaking off to create AwardsWatch in 2013. He is a Rotten Tomatoes-approved critic, accredited by the Cannes Film Festival, Telluride Film Festival, Toronto International Film Festival and more, is a member of the International Cinephile Society (ICS), The Society of LGBTQ Entertainment Critics (GALECA), Critics Choice Association (CCA), San Francisco Bay Area Film Critics Circle (SFBAFCC) and the International Press Academy. Among his many achieved goals with AwardsWatch, he has given a platform to underrepresented writers and critics and supplied them with access to film festivals and the industry and calls the Bay Area his home where he lives with his husband and son.
