TLDR

Don’t cry because it ended. Smile because it (Florence Pugh and Andrew Garfield in a romcom together) happened :)

What it's about

At the worst time of his life, recent divorcée Tobias meets up-and-coming chef Almut in a surprise encounter that leads to a decade-spanning romance.

The take

For better or for worse, every romantic relationship anyone will ever have will end. This isn’t a bitter statement single or heartbroken people declare, it’s just that we have to keep in mind that time with our loved ones is limited. Romcom drama We Live in Time is titled as such for a reason– mentioning this could be a bit of a spoiler here– but fittingly, the film plays with time, taking a non-linear narrative that jumps back and forth within the timeline Tobias and Almut share together, comparing and contrasting between these moments as if in memory. Certain moments might feel a bit derivative, but We Live in Time ultimately works with the excellent chemistry shared by Florence Pugh and Andrew Garfield.

What stands out

Florence Pugh. Andrew Garfield. Need I say more?
