As a seasoned cinephile who has witnessed countless cinematic masterpieces unfold on the silver screen, I must say that the upcoming drama “We Live in Time” from A24 has certainly piqued my interest. The authentic portrayal of love and its complexities over two decades, as depicted by Andrew Garfield and Florence Pugh, is a rare find in today’s Hollywood.
In the latest drama by A24 titled “We Live in Time“, we witness a genuine relationship unfold over two decades. This heartfelt journey showcases both the passionate peaks and devastating valleys for its leads, Andrew Garfield and Florence Pugh. During the filming of one particularly intimate scene, the line between reality and acting blurred significantly for the actors, eliciting uncontrollable laughter from the crew. On the Happy Sad Confused podcast, Andrew Garfield shared this amusing anecdote about the incident.
In the sequence, there’s a palpable intensity, for we carefully crafted it so, Garfield started. He portrays Tobias, who develops feelings for Almut, played by Florence Pugh, following an unforeseen car accident where she rushes him to the hospital. Over the span of several decades, they build their love, have a child, and experience a peaceful life that is abruptly disrupted by a shocking cancer diagnosis. Beyond being a sorrowful tale, We Live in Time delivers a believable romance and deep passion between the characters, which can be challenging to depict on screen. Garfield further explained:
