An up-and-coming chef and a recent divorcee find their lives forever changed when a chance encounter brings them together, in a decade-spanning, deeply moving romance.. When Florence Pugh couldn’t make it to the film;s premiere due to other filming commitments, Andrew Garfield brought a life-sized cutout of her to fill her absence.. During the living room scene With the candles and fire Almut closes Tobias’s notebook but in the next shot it is open.. Almut: What’s the rush? Tobias: Because I’m worried that’s there’s a very distinct and real possibility that I am about to fall in love with you.. Featured in The Graham Norton Show: Timothée Chalamet/Colman Domingo/Andrew Garfield/James Corden/Ruth Jones/Laufey Lín Bing Jónsdóttir (2024). Is It a SinWritten by Al HazanPerformed by Allie Hazan. Saw this at the 2024 Toronto International Film Festival. John Crowley crafts a simple and predictable romance story that isn’t really anything special, yet, captures a beautifully looking presentation with two strong performances from Andrew Garfield and Florence Pugh throughout. Frankly, sometimes, we need to enjoy a simple cheesy romance narrative and We Live in Time checkbooks out of the cheese elements together pretty well. With good music, simple dialogue, and structure, it still holds an emotional connection with its viewers as the chemistry and banter between the two leads are watchable and good. Obviously, because of it’s predictable style, it does feel a bit long with it’s pacing and certain elements may put you to snooze, but as a whole, Crowley’s direction and Garfield and Pugh’s performance kept it running.
