TIFF 2024: John Crowley’s bittersweet romance is a truly charming and surprisingly rich film

Almut and Tobias, the two people at the center of the new romance “We Live in Time,” are in many ways the perfect movie couple.

They meet cute when she hits him with her car when he’s coming back in his bathrobe from the store where he went on a midnight run to buy pens so he could sign his divorce papers. They date cute. Pop songs play when they have cute sex. And their cute daughter is born after not one but two separate cute we’re-having-a-baby scenes.

Oh, and she has cancer, which wouldn’t be so cute except for the most perfect of all the things about this perfect couple: They’re played by a perfect pair of actors in Florence Pugh and Andrew Garfield.
