We Live In Time
We Live in Time, directed by John Crowley and written by Nick Payne, is an inventively structured romance featuring exceptional performances by Florence Pugh and Andrew Garfield. The film explores the fleeting nature of time through the lives of Almut (Pugh) and Tobias (Garfield), whose relationship is marked by extraordinary moments—from a meet-cute car accident to a gastronomical competition. Alternating between three timelines, the story delves into the collision of memory and present experience, heightened by Almut’s sobering medical diagnosis, which raises profound questions about living fully. Pugh dazzles as a determined young woman balancing personal and professional ambitions, while Garfield delivers a career-best performance as a deeply emotive partner, making this intricately told tale a poignant reflection on time’s relentless march.

“It’s such a joy to watch two such assured and natural performers allowed the room to exercise both movie star and actor muscles as well as showcase their ease with both comedy and drama.”
– Benjamin Lee, The Guardian
“With Pugh and Garfield leading this tremendous love story, We Live in Time becomes one of the best movie romances in years, and proves that few filmmakers can present the power of love quite like Crowley can.”
– Ross Bonamine, Collider
“Pugh’s fierceness and Garfield’s ready access to emotion make them a good match; the dialogue is witty and it’s a pleasure just to listen to them talk. Most importantly, everyone involved is serious about and committed to and yes, in love with the story.”
– Johanna Schneller, The Globe and Mail
