We Live in Time is not afraid to take its time to tell a beautiful story. In the trailer (released yesterday by A24), we see Almut (Florence Pugh), an up-and-coming chef, and Tobias (Andrew Garfield), a recent divorcee, meet in a very unusual way – a car accident. This leads to a growing bond that we watch develop over the years.

We see them fall in love, create a home, and start a family, all shown in a heartfelt montage. But everything changes when Almut receives a serious diagnosis. The movie shows their journey as they deal with this tough situation and learn to treasure every moment.

This long timeline is similar to The Fault in Our Stars, where we watched Hazel Grace Lancaster (a 16-year-old girl suffering from thyroid cancer that has affected her lungs) and Augustus Waters (a teenager who lost a leg to bone cancer but has since gone into remission). Their love grows through teenage struggles and illness. Both movies show how love can overcome any obstacle, whether it’s time, life situations, or even death.

We Live in Time is an R-Rated Tearjerker That Will Resonate with Fans

This uncertainty adds a lot of excitement for viewers.
