Nichols' approach is careful, reserved and deeply considerate of the human story he's trying to tell.

It's a well-crafted historical drama that pays minute attention to recreating the period and the couple's personal history, with much dialogue and legal particulars based on documented fact.

It doesn't trumpet its importance obnoxiously, and it's packed with performances of quiet power, with Negga as the breakout.

Alison Willmore, BuzzFeed News

Loving just asks, over and over, "Isn't it wrong that two people who love each other this much are being persecuted for no reason?" Indeed it is, but I knew that before the movie started and had been hoping, quixotically, for something more.

Mike D'Angelo, AV Club

A sensible, compassionate but nigglingly uncomplicated drama.
