Sparks fly as We Live In Time comes to Netflix

Every decade has one. Julia Roberts was the It girl of 1990s cinema. Halle Berry and Jennifer Lawrence followed suit for the 2000s and 2010s respectively. In the 2020s it’s British star Florence Pugh that’s the name on everyone’s lips in Tinseltown. Now you can watch her in one of her most powerful roles to date in John Crowley’s critically acclaimed We Live In Time, coming to Netflix (Apps > Netflix) on Saturday 5 July – a perfect pick for your weekend movie night.

We Live In Time follows the unconventional relationship between recently divorced Tobias (Andrew Garfield) and former figure skater turned chef Almut (Pugh). Their chance meeting in the most surprising of circumstances leads to a passionate and deeply moving love story that unfolds on screen, as they navigate love, loss, family and a terminal illness. Trust us when we say that there won’t be a dry eye in your living room.

Heartwarming, tearjerking and inspiring all at once, the film is told in a non-linear style through events that span a decade of Tobias and Almut’s relationship, seeing them hit life’s joyful milestones from parenthood to career highs, which makes an earth-shattering cancer diagnosis before their time all the more gut-wrenching.

Driven by the swoon-worthy chemistry between Garfield and Pugh, We Live In Time perfectly captures how a seemingly ordinary life can become one of the most extraordinary love stories when you remember to cherish each moment. Sob.

It’s no surprise that the versatile and endlessly Pugh has had a swift ascent through the ranks of Hollywood, earning legions of fans and an Oscar nomination. Read on to find out where you can watch Pugh dazzle on your screens now, as she turns her acting chops to historical dramas, heart-racing thrillers, high-octane superhero adventures and more. We salute you, Flo!

One of Pugh’s most powerful roles to date was as English nurse Lib Wright, who’s sent to rural Ireland to investigate a divine miracle that’s reportedly taking place in a deeply religious family’s home shortly after the Great Famine. Of course, everything isn’t as it seems, and Lib’s quest for the truth becomes the driving force of the movie (as does Pugh’s compelling performance).
