Little Rock filmmaker Jeff Nichols’ highly acclaimed Loving, the fact-based story of an interracial couple who defied the state’s anti-miscegenation laws and married in 1958, opens in Arkansas today, and our Philip Martin has his review. Does the film, which seems likely headed for several Oscar nominations, live up to the advance notices?
We’ll also have reviews of Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, The Edge of Seventeen, Bleed for This and Billy Lynn’s Long Halftime Walk.
So look to Friday’s Style section in the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette for the latest on what’s in local theaters.
