In 1967, case of Loving vs. Virginia, the Supreme Court unanimously struck down the Virginia law.\u00a0 Laws prohibiting interracial marriage are unconstitutional.<\/p>\n<p>The entire picture comes across with just a shred of melodrama, as when Richard is chased by an unknown driver on a back road, though nothing is made of this.\u00a0 This is a sedate drama that would not necessarily capture the attention of fans of the violent \u201cThe Birth of a Nation,\u201d though advocates of solid performances will praise Edgerton\u2019s disappearance into his strong, silent character.\u00a0 The picture is so sedate, in fact, that it could be mistaken for a docudrama.\u00a0 It\u2019s wonderful that the production team has revived a judicial action that is ultimately heroic, ground-shaking, celebrating the good work of the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU), its representative lawyers noting that only one out of four hundred cases is even accepted for review, i.e. certiorari.\u00a0 Despite its virtual absence of melodrama, the entire two hours go by quickly, engaging our interest and showing that our country is still moving slowly and with quite a few unfortunate interruptions to the left.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Rated PG-13.\u00a0 123 minutes.\u00a0 \u00a9 Harvey Karten, Member, New York Film Critics Online<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Story \u2013 B+<\/strong><br
