“Loving” writer/director Jeff Nichols has mentioned how perfectly suited to the character of Richard Loving Joel Edgerton’s large, weathered hands are, and it’s very apparent by the way he focuses on those rough, workmanlike hands in the film that he is using them as signifiers of the inner thoughts and emotions of the taciturn Richard.
Those capable hands are the way in which Richard provides for his family as he designs a home for them and expertly lays brick and block. They provide comfort to Mildred when they completely envelope her tiny hand when she reaches out to him for comfort; and they express his fear and frustration as he nervously worries at them in the presence of lawyers. Confronted with the vicious face of the law, they hang still and impotent at his sides.
My favourite “hand” moment though occurs near the end of the film when Richard and Mildred are sitting at their kitchen table across from the two lawyers who are about to argue their case before the US Supreme Court. It’s a moment of great contrast as we see the rather stiff Bernie Cohen in his suit and tie juxtaposed to the much larger Richard in his homey, red plaid jacket, but it’s the difference in their hands that catches the eye.
The sight of Cohen’s slender, office-work hand around his coffee cup contrasted to Richard’s enormous labourer’s hand which completely swallows up his mug, is Nichols’ way of subtly reinforcing the wonder that men from two such utterly dissimilar worlds were able to come together to achieve so much good; and once again displays Nichols’ unmatched talent for restrained but emotionally charged filmmaking.

The under appreciated softness of boys when they get cared for and held lovingly for the first time in a relationship is both heart-wrenching and beautiful
I know, baby, I really tired you out, didn’t I? You might want to keep that in mind next time when you ask me to use you as if you were one of my toys… but you’re always such a good slut for me.
What? I can barely understand you, cutie. Let me clean you up and I promise I’ll lay with you.
Of course I’ll hold you. I’ll always hold you. Yes, and kiss you. Duh!
You were so good. You sounded so good. Everything about you always makes me want you more. I love you.
No, no round two, I know you’re tired. That was like… four rounds, if you ask me, technically.
We can watch whatever you want. I’ll massage your wrists and get you water– okay, and I’ll put chocolate chip cookies in the oven. And play with your hair.
…Are you sure that was all good? You’re still shaking.
Okay, good.
No,you’rethe best!
You’re so cute.
You’ve been texting me all day saying you miss me and you wish you were here so I can love on you, and I’ve been thinking the same thing, except I’d be reminding you who you belong to, and going between your thighs to get to your heart ;)
