IndieWire
“Nick Payne’s screenplay for We Live in Time may not offer a completely new idea, but telling the love story out of order helps the movie create a powerful impact. From the very beginning, it grips viewers with its emotional intensity.“
The Guardian
It’s a real pleasure to see two confident and talented actors given the chance to show off their skills, blending both their movie star charisma and their acting abilities in both comedy and drama.
Deadline
This film wouldn’t succeed without the perfect cast, and Garfield, who worked with Crowley 16 years ago on Boy A, and Pugh, who seems capable of anything, are both incredibly convincing and engaging.
Variety
Crowley believes the strong chemistry between Pugh and Garfield will be so captivating that audiences will want to watch the movie over and over. Eventually, Almut and Tobias’ memories will feel like our own.
Collider
With Pugh and Garfield starring in this amazing love story, We Live in Time becomes one of the best movie romances in years. It shows that Crowley has a special talent for capturing the power of love like no one else.
After the movie’s world premiere, Garfield talked about the viral horse meme that became popular on social media last month.
“I hadn’t heard from him since our filming day, but I really hope he shows up,” he joked. “Without that horse, no one would even know about this film!”
