What pisses me off is when a monumental moment and struggle such as this loses its importance in it's cinematic portrayal.
I didn't know about this case or this couple, and the movie made me aware of this particular legal struggle that inter racial couples had to endure, which clearly shows the lasting effects of slavery.
The movie drones on, not doing enough justice to bring out the longing, despair and frustration of everyone and especially the couple in these tough times. The pace of storytelling was quite dull.
I gave 7 stars only because of the real story behind it, and since there's probably never going to be another movie highlighting this epic struggle, it deserves a lot of attention.
Surprisingly relevant emotions and narratives even today
