They're taking similar set ups, and doing wholly different things. A United Kingdom was a very standard sort of narrative movie, very by the numbers, Loving defied those same sorts of expectations at almost every turn. While Asante's movie sought to (not undeservedly) blow its scale up to gigantic, international proportions, Nichols' masterstroke was how he shunned everything else in order to keep his story focused on this family.
I liked Loving's approach infinitely more because it made for a far more interesting movie. A United Kingdom was a very good version of something we see so often, but Loving was something else all together.
