Honestly, sometimes we just need to enjoy a simple, cheesy love story, and We Live in Time handles the cheesy elements pretty well
John Crowley creates a simple and predictable love story that isn’t really special, but still delivers a beautiful presentation with two strong performances from Andrew Garfield and Florence Pugh. With good music, simple dialogues and good structure, the film still creates an emotional connection with the viewers, as the chemistry and conversations between the two main characters are good and watchable.

Of course, due to the predictable style, the pace of the film seems a bit slow, and certain elements can put you to sleep, but overall, Crowley’s direction and Garfield and Pugh’s performances keep the film exciting.
