As a fan who has experienced the raw and poignant performances of Florence Pugh in films like Midsommar and Oppenheimer, I can confidently say that her upcoming movie, We Live In Time, is not to be missed. The trailers have already piqued my interest, and the fact that it’s an A24 romantic dramedy co-starring Andrew Garfield just makes it even more enticing.
Actress Florence Pugh isn’t new to tackling intense emotional roles, as seen in films such as ‘Midsommar’ and ‘Oppenheimer’, which continue to strike a chord with audiences thanks to her moving portrayals. The upcoming A24 romantic drama ‘We Live In Time’, featuring Pugh alongside Andrew Garfield, seems set to follow suit, given the intriguing trailers that have been released so far.
This week, Andrew Garfield and Florence Pugh attended the Toronto International Film Festival to mark the debut of “We Live In Time”. At the event, Pugh spoke about her current project and what prompted her to tackle such an emotionally charged story. To give some background, the movie tells the tale of a couple navigating life’s highs and lows, including one dealing with cancer.
While this may be troubling for audiences, the Little Women actress explained that the authenticity of the movie and the real-life experiences it pulls from are what make it compelling. While speaking with TIFF (in a clip shared to Instagram), the star said:
It seems challenging, if not frightening, to prepare for a film that portrays genuine life and authentic love. This is likely the intention – to make it daunting and unsettling. Today, I’ve noticed comments expressing apprehension, ‘I don’t want to feel sad yet.’ Unfortunately, the subject matter is relatable and unavoidable, which might be why we find it so intimidating to watch. We know that there will be moments that resonate with us, and it feels appropriate for us to respond in this way.
It’s likely that the genuine experiences depicted in these films will strike a chord with viewers. This idea could be seen as problematic, but it may also hit close to home for families and couples who have faced similar challenges. One of the wonders of movies is their ability to evoke strong emotions from spectators, offering them a secure environment where they can empathize with characters and storylines on the screen.
During her interview, Florence Pugh was getting ready to watch the movie alongside both her coworkers and unfamiliar individuals. Regardless, she was eager for the encounter ahead.
But that’s a beautiful thing, and a wonderful thing to welcome. And I’m just so excited that I get to watch it with an audience that I don’t know, with people that I do know. And I get to witness what it sounds like for the first time.
