What would you do if there was only so much time left?
We Live In Time is a poignant portrayal of the human emotional journey, a refreshing sight for a film today.
It delves into many feelings, from grief and love to anger, denial, and acceptance.
This Oscar-worthy film, led by the incredible performances of Florence Pugh and Andrew Garfield, takes viewers on a journey through time, showing how their characters fall in love.
It is about a young chef, Almut, who discovers she has cancer, and her journey with her boyfriend, Tobias, who has to deal with the realization of a deadly and traumatic illness. They meet dramatically after Almut runs over Tobias as he is walking across a highway—a drastic start to a drastic end.
This film flashes back through the characters’ memories of giving birth in a gas station, meeting in a hospital, and their first date.
The film is a reminder that we live in time, seeking peace and happiness in the present or clinging to the memories of years past when our loved ones were with us.
It also goes inside the mind of someone who suffers from an illness, showing the struggles and pain of missing out on so many things, and the drain it has on the people around them.
We Live In Time feels so human, as if the audience is living the story.
It shows that time will wait for no one and how something so vital to you can be gone in the blink of an eye.
The film photography is beautiful, intimately grasping every moment.
The brilliant storyline goes in-depth about the struggles of someone with cancer.
It shows not only the grief of the loved ones, but the grief of the patient, how Almut goes through this time, and her thoughts and feelings. It also shows how Tobias felt having to carry the weight of everything on his back.
I highly recommend this film for the storyline and the incredible actors portraying the characters.
I can see the actors and the film itself winning many awards.
It expressed so many emotions in such a short time frame.
Ultimately the film itself is a cinematic masterpiece that goes in depth of how these characters feel and act.
