It’s never too early to start talking about potential Oscar contenders. This year hasn’t exactly been filled with Oscar-worthy films, but there has been one movie attracting a lot of attention from critics: Jeff Nichols’ interracial marriage drama titled Loving.

The film centers around the true story of Richard and Mildred Loving, who spent nearly 10 years of marriage fighting for the right to live peacefully as a family in their hometown. Their case reached the Supreme Court in Loving v. Virginia, leading to a landmark victory for the civil rights movement.

Joel Edgerton and Ruth Negga star in the movie, which premiered at the Cannes festival in May. As mentioned above, critics are loving the movie, especially the performances by Negga and Edgerton. In addition to the two leads, Nick Kroll and Michael Shannon also have small roles in the movie.

You can check out the official synopsis and trailer below. It will hit theaters on November 4, 2016. You’ll probably want to remember this one.

“From acclaimed writer/director Jeff Nichols, “Loving” celebrates the real-life courage and commitment of an interracial couple, Richard and Mildred Loving (Joel Edgerton and Ruth Negga), who married and then spent the next nine years fighting for the right to live as a family in their hometown. Their civil rights case, Loving v. Virginia, went all the way to the Supreme Court, which in 1967 reaffirmed the very foundation of the right to marry – and their love story has become an inspiration to couples ever since.”
