Watching We Live In Time was wonderful. I didn’t think I could laugh and cry as much as I did with this movie, from the beginning until the end.
What Is We Live in Time About?
This film follows the heartfelt story of Almut (Florence Pugh) and Tobias (Andrew Garfield), from their unexpected first meeting to the many milestones and heartbreaks that shape their relationship.
Directed by John Crowley and written by Nick Payne, the film opens with Almut’s quiet domestic routine—gathering eggs from her hens—and flashes back to the day she accidentally hits Tobias with her car.
From there, their connection blooms through dates and deep conversations about starting a family.
Narrated in a non-chronological structure, the story weaves in key life moments in their unpredictable and chaotic lives.
At the center of the story is Almut’s diagnosis with ovarian cancer, as we see how Tobia and Amut react to the diagnosis – and how their loves change over time.
Is It Worth Watching?
Definitely — We Live in Time is a powerful love story about overcoming challenges and learning to love imperfections.
Florence Pugh nails her role as Almut, who has her passion for cooking to the pain of her illness. Andrew Garfield’s Tobias showcases himself as a loving husband who is also supportive of his wife’s goal, despite not always being happy about it.
The movie takes its time, letting every scene – from their playful early dates to the tough medical conversations.
Yes, it’s sad, and I definitely teared up, and it shows viewers the real complicated nature of life and love.
