The plot: Tobias (Garfield) is a sales employee at a food company who’s finalizing his divorce. Almut (Pugh), a professional chef, hits Tobias with her car — and that’s where the love story starts. Years go by, they have a daughter, and then Almut falls ill with a life-threatening disease.
This is a romantic drama in which life seems to revolve around the protagonists — possibly thanks to British playwright Nick Payne, whose writing in this movie makes viewers feel like they’re watching a play. The plot isn’t new, but Garfield and Pugh’s ability to embody such a wide range of emotions makes certain scenes unforgettable — despite a rather scattered back-and-forth between past and present.
The bottom line: We Live in Time is a moving journey that encapsulates love, passion, and loss — creating a dreamy world, even in its saddest moments.
