Positives of Living in Time (2024) : The lead performances of Andrew Garfield and Florence Pugh are phenomenal in this film

Scenario

An aspiring chef and a recent divorcee find their lives changed forever when a chance meeting brings them together in a decade-long, deeply moving romance. Florence Pugh described filming this project as “one of the highlights of [her] career.” Is It a SinWritten by Al Hazan Starring Allie Hazan. I just finished watching the movie We Live in Time (2024) and I have to tell you that this is truly one of the most emotional and realistic romantic movies I have seen recently.

I appreciated that this film can realistically tell the love story of two strangers who fell in love after the first meeting

This is not really surprising as these two have been nominated for Oscars in the past and I hope they both get nominations this year. Don’t get me wrong, I enjoy my fair share of romantic movies where two lovers meet in the most cynical and ridiculous way possible, but I also like it when a movie approaches these stories in a more realistic fashion. The things these two characters go through in this film can be heartwarming, devastating, and even healthy depending on what scenes those moments take place in.

To be fair, the film achieves its primary goals with this approach, but it may also hit hard for some people who have gone through similar situations in their lives

I also appreciated that this film manages to balance these moments to the point where they don’t feel overly dramatic or overly emotional to the point where it feels like a limp. And finally, I love how the ending of the movie manages to avoid all the traditional clichés of other romance movies while still giving the audience the satisfaction they want to see in this movie. Mixed for We Live in Time (2024) : While I certainly appreciated the path this movie took with its story, there will be people who will probably have a hard time watching this movie.

This is a movie I see only once and that’s it

Negatives for We Live in Time (2024): I only have one thing to say about this movie in this area, and it’s very little. But if this element is the only negative of your movie, then that says how good your movie is. Overall, We Live in Time (2024) definitely gave me what I wanted and I couldn’t be happier.

If Garfield and Pugh don’t get nominations for their performances in this movie, then I will be very disappointed in the Academy

. Regardless, if you’re looking for a romantic movie that feels really realistic in its approach to the story, then this is the movie for you. Check out our list of exciting new films from this year’s film festivals, including Venice, TIFF, the New York Film Festival and more.
