The simple story of a southern interracial couple that just wants to live their lives without a lot of fanfare. Some viewers were disturbed by the lack of action, but the director refused to add extraneous fictional material just to make the viewing audience excited. The Loving couple basically kept to themselves, so they escaped much of the actions of lynching, white racist hatred that was dominant in the Southern states at this time in America's history. It should be noted that films like "Loving" and "12 Years a Slave" were largely propelled by Brits, not people from Hollywood. Hollywood was still basically in its hear no evil, see no evil, speak no evil about American racism (including 2 years straight with only white actors nominated for the best actor and best supporting actor categories).
