Almut (Florence Pugh) is an up-and-coming chef with her own restaurant. Tobias (Andrew Garfield) is the marketing face for Weetabix cereal and a very recent divorcee. Their paths cross when Almut hits Tobias with her car, and from their atypical meet-cute a loving relationship blossoms. When a devastating medical diagnosis shatters their world, the two challenge the limits of time in a decade-spanning romance full of laughter, hardship, and love. “We Live in Time never falls into the trappings of more conventional, saccharine love story, begging the audience for their tears. Instead of trying to make his audience cry, Crowley is showing us the power and beauty of a life shared, and even if this could be taken away from them, it’s about how they use the time they have together that’s spectacular.”— Ross Bonaime, Collider.
