New Loving Film Called “Oscarworthy”

Richard and Mildred Loving just wanted to be married and live in their home state of Virginia. Not much to ask. But in 1958, interracial marriage in the State of Virginia was banned. They got married anyway, were arrested, and fought their arrest all the way into the Supreme Court. This just-released Loving film tells their powerful story with subtlety, and what has been called an Oscarworthy performance. Reviews generally are coming in strong, with an 88% approval on Rotten Tomatoes. A previous film was made on this topic in 1996, Mr. & Mrs. Loving.

These were among the much-praised "Ealing Comedies" that have become a classic genre in their own right. Ealing Studios was by no means a hotbed of free-marketers. … Continue Reading

About Miss Liberty

This site is a collection of films and documentaries of particular interest to libertarians (and those interested in libertarianism). It began as a book, Miss Liberty’s Guide to Film: Movies for the Libertarian Millennium, where many of the recommended films were first reviewed. The current collection has grown to now more than double the number in that original list, and it’s growing still.
