Critics Consensus

Andrew Garfield and Florence Pugh's palpable chemistry will snatch audiences' hearts before breaking them in We Live in Time, a powerful melodrama that uses its nonlinear structure to thoughtfully explore grief.

Helen O'Hara

Time Out

Crowley, having nailed his casting, directs with a light hand and follows the emotion through, to good effect. It feels real, and honest, in a way that too few romantic films manage.

Rated: 4/5

A deeply moving and beautifully performed film.

Chicago Reader

hough Pugh and Garfield (particularly the latter) bring intense, raw emotionality to otherwise by-the-numbers material, We Live in Time is an overall predictable addition to a strangely prevalent romantic subgenre.

Radio Times

With Bryce Dessner's graceful score and Crowley's sensitive handling also factored in, this fitfully absorbing weepie works best when it gives its emotions room to breathe.

Rated: 3/5

There’s something appealing and impressive about a film that’s this honest and unashamed to be so romantic.

This movie was okay but kinda boring. I thought there would be more emotions I really didn’t think it was that sad which is what I was expecting but didn’t really get any of that. I felt like the story was good but not great only reason I give a 2 and a half stars.
