All of its quick cutaways and comic relief help underscore the bittersweetness of Tobias and Almut’s time together and keep it from becoming too saccharine.

Great performances can atone for a multitude of cinematic sins,...We buy into this pair’s instant attraction immediately — a miracle when you consider the uber-manipulative plot elements the filmmakers impose upon them.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Mar 5, 2025

The ending may not be as cathartic as those looking for a good cleansing bawl might hope, but generally, this damn thing is good at setting its hooks and squeezing a few salty ones out.

A film that doesn’t accumulate but merely plateaus, assuming it has captured and delivered something that remains very far off.

| Original Score: C | Feb 7, 2025

Time-jumping cuts illustrating memory and the ticking clock. Pugh’s outstanding performance lingers, a note perfect portrayal of a woman who knows her mind and faces insurmountable odds. Never saccharin or exploitative.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Feb 7, 2025

As romantic comedies seem to be having a bit of a second coming at the moment, We Live in Time will hopefully stand out amongst the crowd, and be recognized for much more than its purported commercial instincts.

| Feb 5, 2025

This is a funny-sad, poignant, beautifully acted film that explores questions we will all have to face at some time in our lives.

The weepie plays more like a rom-com.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Jan 27, 2025

Despite the weightiness of the theme, Pugh and Garfield extract a lot of fun from their scenes together. They deftly sidestep any hint of sentimentality.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Jan 23, 2025

The couple's complicity and comedic moments are built upon a false occurrence that's almost embarrassing; the film lacks greatness on all four sides. [Full review in Spanish]

Both [Florence Pugh and Andrew Garfield] allow the heart of We Live in Time to be as touching as it is imperfect in all aspects...[Full review in Spanish]

| Original Score: 3/5 | Jan 16, 2025

Pugh and Garfield are a dynamite duo in this likably earnest, satisfyingly complicated love story. Worthy of your time, and your tears.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Jan 16, 2025

With Pugh and Garfield, We Live in Time has a main cast whose performances overwhelm the average material they're given

| Original Score: 3/5 | Jan 16, 2025

The film is unashamedly old-fashioned – and welcome at a time when the aim of so many films is to induce a sense of comfortable numbness. Blessedly, We Live in Time deliberately runs counter to that – and does so very well.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Jan 16, 2025

Thanks to Florence Pugh, this weepie has teeth.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Jan 16, 2025

Using the gravity of serious illness in what is really a lightly scrambled Richard Curtis movie feels the bigger risk.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Jan 15, 2025

Lovely, lingering stuff from go to whoa.

| Jan 15, 2025

The central performances are extremely engaging.

On screen, illness and romance are well-worn territories, and on paper, there’s nothing out of the ordinary with this young couple. However... Crowley captures with We Live in Time is that intangible quiet and magical beauty of everyday existence.

Andrew Garfield as Tobias and Florence Pugh as Almut have a wonderful authentic chemistry as a couple. Garfield’s performance is so accomplished that you feel everything his character does. A great dramatic comedy and romance film.
