When Almut (Florence Pugh) and Tobias (Andrew Garfield) meet under unique circumstances, they embark on a once in a lifetime love. From the very first moment they laid eyes on each other, to when they become a couple and eventually move in together and have a child, they don’t think it will get any better. That is until a shocking revelation comes to light that threatens to tear them apart.

To say I’ve been looking forward to this film is an understatement. Two of my all time favorite actors Pugh and Garfield starring in the same project? Sign me up! Their chemistry was off the charts and I found myself swooning throughout. Not only did they look great together, but the personalities of their characters just meshed so well.

Films are usually portayed sequentially. That is not the case here. We flip back and forth between different periods of time. At first it was a bit confusing to follow. After a while I got the hang of it. I appreciated that they took a different approach than usual though I’m not sure it will work for everyone.

What I liked most is the moral of the story. Appreciating the little things in life and learning to cherish each moment is easier said than done when obstacles are in the way. The love that Almut and Tobias shared and the fact that they really did what they could to embrace it regardless of the consequences was really inspiring. It’s something that will stick with me for a while, I think.

We Live In Time is one of those romance stories you could only ever dream about. It will make you laugh, it will make you cry and it will make you feel all the feels. Thanks to the incredible chemistry between Pugh and Garfield, this was a brilliant film to kick off 2025 with.
