NextBestPicture’s Matt Negalia wrote, “WE LIVE IN TIME is basically Florence Pugh & Andrew Garfield being in love and living a life together for nearly two hours and the results are surprisingly sweet & emotional. Much funnier than expected, the charm of the two leads (and a moving score) elevates this non-linear modern UK love story to become something utterly heartbreaking, though, some may still take issue with its meandering & basic plot as much of it can feel like watching an elongated montage.”

More sweet than profound, it feels more true to the rhythm of life than other romances. Another handsome grounded weepie from John Crowley.”
