The latest film from 'Brooklyn' director John Crowley, "We Live in Time," portrays a contemporary British couple dealing with a serious medical diagnosis. Starring Florence Pugh and Andrew Garfield, two young actors known for their depth and charisma, the movie premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival. Unlike Crowley's previous work, "The Goldfinch," which received mixed reviews in 2019, this film takes a non-linear approach, intertwining various timeframes and memories to create a deeply moving and introspective narrative.
Encountering each other in their 30s as mature individuals with established backgrounds and distinct aspirations, Almut and Tobias decide to establish a home in the lush Herne Hill area of South London. Almut runs her own restaurant as a chef, while Tobias, who is recovering from a recent divorce, works as the marketing representative for Weetabix cereal.
