Tim Cogshell FilmWeek (KPCC - NPR Los Angeles) A deeply moving and beautifully performed film. Nov 4, 2024 Full Review Lauren Coates 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. Nov 2, 2024 Full Review Odie Henderson Boston Globe For every “Pulp Fiction,” a film that reordered itself successfully and with purpose, there’s a movie like “We Live In Time,” where the plot structure serves only to frustrate. Rated: 1.5/4 Oct 25, 2024 Full Review Pablo O. Scholz Clarín The interpretations of both leads are meticulous, with subtle acting decisions, gestures, and movements that may be small, but very precise. [Full review in Spanish] Nov 15, 2024 Full Review Rene Sanchez Cine Sin Fronteras A traditional tearjerker powered by solid performances from its leading couple. [Full Review in Spanish] Rated: 3/4 Nov 14, 2024 Full Review Bruce R. Miller Sioux City Journal “We Live in Time” is a gut punch to everyone who wants a “happily ever after” but can’t quite get to the happily. Rated: 2.5/4 Nov 12, 2024 Full Review Read all reviews

Jackie T Great feel good story. Uplifting. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 11/17/24 Full Review William D A rare film that explores the complexities of relationships as we age. It may not connect in all the right ways with a younger audience. But, those of us with a few years on us can relate. The movies not perfect by any means. But, it does offer a glimpse into the joys and sorrows of sharing your life with your soul mate. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 11/17/24 Full Review David G We Live In Time is a profoundly moving movie experience that lingers long after the credits roll. This film is a testament to the power of storytelling, and at its heart lies a career-defining performance by Andrew Garfield. Known for his remarkable ability to convey vulnerability and emotional depth, Garfield delivers a performance so raw and intimate that it feels less like acting and more like witnessing a deeply personal moment unfold on screen. What makes Garfield's portrayal even more impressive is his ability to channel the pain of his own mother's death into the role with grace and authenticity. This connection infuses his character with a tangible sense of grief and longing that resonates with anyone who has experienced loss before. Every glance, every pause, every quiet moment is filled with a depth that feels real. It’s a rare feat to see an actor transform personal tragedy into a language of connection, and Garfield does so with a brilliance that is captivating. The movie itself is a beautifully crafted exploration of love, loss, and the fleeting nature of time. While undeniably sad, We Live In Time is not without hope. It forces viewers to confront their own lives, urging them to appreciate the small, seemingly insignificant moments that, in hindsight, often turn out to be the most meaningful. The film’s balance between heartbreak and celebration of life is its greatest strength, reminding us that joy and sorrow are inseparable threads in the tapestry of our lives. We Live In Time is an emotional journey that leaves you reflective and inspired. Andrew Garfield’s performance ensures that this film will not only be remembered but cherished. It’s a reminder to hold onto the small moments, to savor them, because in the end, they are the big things that truly matter. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 11/15/24 Full Review Nicole P Fell asleep 5 mins in the movie 😂, A24 please don’t ever try to do a romantic comedy again. It wasn’t even a comedy.
