- Andrew Garfield and Florence Pugh will star in We Live in Time
- After its debut at TIFF, critics have gone wild for the movie
- Fans have also praised Pugh and Garfield for their chemistry away from the cameras
It’s set to be one of the biggest films of next year.
And if we weren’t already sold by Andrew Garfield and Florence Pugh’s on-screen chemistry, their press tour for We Live in Time has got us convinced the movie will be a must-see.
Playing lovers Almut and Tobias in the John-Crowley directed screenplay, Pugh, 28, and Garfield, 41, have had audiences hooked with their sweet friendship as they work to promote their work, which premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival last week.
The characters are brought together in a surprise encounter that changes their lives – before their relationship is challenged by a devastating diagnosis.
The effort – which hits theaters on January 1, 2025 – has been met with rapture, with critics branding it “immensely charming, a big, full-throated romantic drama that knows exactly how to make us swoon as well as make us sad”.
“Crowley is confident that the chemistry between Pugh and Garfield is so compelling, people will want to watch his movie again and again, at which point, Almut and Tobias’ memories will have become our memories,” wrote Variety.
Collider wrote, “With Pugh and Garfield leading this tremendous love story, We Live in Time becomes one of the best movie romances in years, and proves that few filmmakers can present the power of love quite like Crowley can.”
IndieWire added, “The conceit of Nick Payne’s original screenplay isn’t particularly novel, but scrambling its love story out of order allows We Live in Time to make the most of its gentle touch, if only because its hands are wrapped around our necks from the moment starts.”
And despite not yet being privy to the movie, fans on Twitter/X were saying much the same thing about the duo.
