We Live in Time

The heart-wrenching romance drama starring Florence Pugh and Andrew Garfield hits Max this week, and if you didn't weep in cinemas through We Live in Time, now's your chance in the privacy of your own home. Pugh and Garfield play Almut and Tobias, two people who meet, fall head over heels, and start their life together — the film bounces between past and present, through tender snapshots of their relationship. But life throws deeply unfair turns at us, as they figure out how to manage the cruelest of mistresses, time.
Despite the amount we cried over the film (who couldn't?), we didn't fall as hard for it as we'd hoped. Entertainment Editor Kristy Puchko wrote in her review, "On paper, We Live in Time seems thoughtfully formulated to be the perfect tearjerker for today. John Crowley, the celebrated helmer of the stunning Saoirse Ronan romance Brooklyn, teams with heralded actors/internet darlings Florence Pugh and Andrew Garfield in a weepy romance of wooing and tragic loss. And yet, while peppered with sex scenes and adoring close-ups, this is not a hot or even sweaty embrace of lust and love, but a soggy handshake of a film that underwhelms despite its star power." — S.C.
