Synopsis
An up-and-coming chef and a recently divorced woman find their lives forever changed when a chance encounter brings them together in a deeply moving love story that has spanned a decade. Florence Pugh described filming this project as “one of the highlights of [her] career.” Is It A Sin? The Non-Linear Structure: A Double-Edged Sword We Live In Time makes a bold narrative choice by employing a non-linear structure. While it adds complexity to the story, making it feel like a series of fragmented memories or dreamlike flashbacks, it is achieved at the expense of emotional connection. The constant jumps between different moments in the relationship prevent the audience from fully immersing themselves in key events.
A more linear approach could have allowed for a deeper connection
As a result, some crucial moments feel rushed and we miss the opportunity to truly absorb the emotions and consequences of certain scenes. Almut’s Career: A Missed Opportunity One of the elements I found missing in We Live in Time was a deeper dive into Almut’s career as a chef. We’re told that cooking is her passion, but the film doesn’t spend much time exploring why this is so important to her. What sacrifices have you made to get to where you are? What role does cooking play in your identity, and how does it conflict with your personal struggles?
Product Placement: A pinch of distraction
By not focusing more on this aspect, the film misses an opportunity to add depth to her character. It would have helped not only connect the viewer more to her journey, but also make her internal conflict about balancing career and family more urgent and understandable. Let’s talk about Weetabix moments. When the product literally becomes part of the conversation, it feels as if the film has taken a quick break to sell us breakfast. It’s the kind of moment that makes you wonder, “How much did Weetabix pay for this?” It didn’t ruin the movie, but it definitely could have done without the snack commercial halfway through the film.
Strong performances hold it all together
Despite its flaws, We Live in Time is held together by the incredible performances of Garfield and Pugh. Their chemistry alone makes the film worth watching. Both actors manage to convey raw emotions with depth, carrying the weight of the film’s emotional core. Conclusion In the end, We Live in Time isn’t a groundbreaking film, but it is a heartfelt one. It’s a deeply personal story of love, time, and loss, and while it doesn’t always capture every emotional beat, it still offers moments of real beauty.
