Many movie goers have been excited and intrigued for John Crowley’s new movie We Live In Time since photos of leads Florence Pugh and Andrew Garfield were leaked in April of 2023. The impressive filmography of both actors including classics like The Amazing Spider-Man and Little Women had people greatly anticipating seeing how well the two would work on screen together. While I am a fan of both actors and I think their performances were exceptional, I feel like the movie fell flat and failed to portray the message they intended to.
