PLOT
A chance encounter between chef Almut (Pugh) and recently divorced Tobias (Garfield) leads to romance — but a cancer diagnosis threatens their time together.
TIME MAY BE a straight line, but memories hit you in random waves. Taken in that spirit, We Live In Time’s central gambit —to tell its love story out of chronological order —is more than just a stylistic flourish, the kind that would make Christopher Nolan proud. It’s an inspired choice that adds a layer of unpredictability to John Crowley’s weepy romcom. And thanks to a couple of powerhouse performances, its straightforward story packs a punch.
