Ever since the Cannes Film Festival earlier this year, pundits like myself have had the biopic Loving doing some damage in the Oscar race. I currently don’t have it dominating like I once did, but this is certainly one of the bigger prestige titles of 2016. This week, Focus Features finally releases it into theaters, after its successful festival run. Without too many other biopics in the race this year, there’s a clear spot for something like this to make a dent. There are plenty of fans for the movie, so it’s going to be noticed on the precursor circuit. The question is just, to what degree? The film is a look at Richard Loving (Joel Edgerton) and Mildred Loving (Ruth Negga), an interracial couple in 1958 Virginia, back during the time of anti-miscegenation laws. When the Loving marriage is discovered, Richard and Mildred are jailed, eventually having to move out of state.
