MVFF47 - RSVP Guide

In We Live in Time, Florence Pugh (The Wonder, MVFF45) and Andrew Garfield (MVFF Award: Breathe, MVFF40) prove great foils for each other: Their punchy repartee and irresistible connection makes them one of the most memorable of recent cinematic couples. When an accidental encounter brings together up-and-coming, ambitious chef and restaurant owner Almut (Pugh) and recent divorcé (Garfield)—who also happens to be a Weetabix spokesperson—what might seem like an unlikely match evolves into something neither might have imagined for themselves. With humor, warmth, love, romance, and a tad contentiousness, their bonds become deeper with every moment. Moments that range from life-changing (giving birth in a completely unexpected location) to the seemingly mundane (the best way to crack an egg). Director John Crowley’s (Brooklyn, MVFF38) beautifully paced production of Nick Payne’s innovative script spans three distinct chronologies that unfold and inform our understanding of key moments in the couple’s time together. It’s a life-affirming journey that’s both defined by and transcends time.
