Exalted by Andrew Garfield and Florence Pugh, We Live in Time is a non-linear tribute to love and life that requires a box of tissues.

We Live in Time is not a great film but a charming one nonetheless. A bittersweet romance that makes you smile through the sadness and connect with life via death.

This is a funny-sad, poignant, beautifully acted film that explores questions we will all have to face at some time in our lives.

Sydney Morning Herald

Despite the weightiness of the theme, Pugh and Garfield extract a lot of fun from their scenes together. They deftly sidestep any hint of sentimentality.

Rated: 3.5/5

We Live in Time asks us to look at the now, no matter when we are in a relationship and appreciate what we have right now, in this time.

“We Live in Time” can be predictable, and you can sometimes feel the gears turning, urging your tear ducts to release. But, there are enough moments that don’t take the typical route towards their emotional endpoints

Brilliant cinematography and choreography. I fell in love with each of the characters and their chemistry. I just didn’t like the nudity. Had there been a more creative way to display their raw emotions for one another then that’d’ve been fantastic. Sex is sacred to the human soul. Aside from that, the emotions in this movie were just so well acted and written.

Felt like watching a made for TV movie from back in the early 90s on Lifetime. Florence Pugh is the only reason this doesn't get one star from me.
