On paper, We Live in Time seems thoughtfully formulated to be the perfect tearjerker for today. John Crowley, the celebrated helmer of the stunning Saoirse Ronan romance Brooklyn, teams with heralded actors/internet darlings Florence Pugh and Andrew Garfield in a weepy romance of wooing and tragic loss.

Directed by John Crowley, with a screenplay by Nick Payne, this new romance from A24 is all but guaranteed to make you cry. It’s a non-linear narrative that tells the love story of Tobias (Garfield) and Almut (Pugh), who must endure the beautiful, heartbreaking, euphoric experience that is being in love.

As its title suggests, the romantic drama We Live in Time, starring Florence Pugh and Andrew Garfield, is about time and how we use it, especially when it is running out.
