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.

Amon Warmann

Empire Magazine

Pugh and Garfield are a dynamite duo in this likably earnest, satisfyingly complicated love story. Worthy of your time, and your tears.

Rated: 4/5

Financial Times

Using the gravity of serious illness in what is really a lightly scrambled Richard Curtis movie feels the bigger risk.

It's Better in the Dark

With Pugh and Garfield, We Live in Time has a main cast whose performances overwhelm the average material they're given

The film is unashamedly old-fashioned – and welcome at a time when the aim of so many films is to induce a sense of comfortable numbness. Blessedly, We Live in Time deliberately runs counter to that – and does so very well.

Florence Pugh is amazing per usual. She’s a standout here yet again. Loved her performance. Andrew Garfield also gives a funny and heartwarming performance. Great chemistry here. This film occasionally scratches the surface of feeling generic at times but veers from that often, every now and then. It spends most of its time looking back at admiring life while also looking to the future. The going back and forth between the past, present, and future in random order was an interesting and unique way of telling this story. Its structure is one of the most interesting parts of the film. I think it ends up working in the end for the most part. At least for me.

One of the worst movies I have ever seen. It's all out of order and the time line of events gets confusing, and it's all done for seemingly no purpose whatsoever. I'm all for movies showing events out of order when there's a reason for it, but it just makes no sense for this movie honestly. It was not entertaining and sad and just one of the worst movie experiences I've ever had.

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.
