WE LIVE IN TIME brought me to tears. It touched my soul and made me think about the thousands of “times” throughout my life.

Grief, divorce, compromise, pleasure, lust, and love are superbly given a unique platform. The success of feeling every human emotion goes to Andrew Garfield as Tobias and Florence Pugh as Almut. Their chemistry was phenomenal. One look, one sigh, and one-touch spoke volumes without uttering a word. Their relationship felt raw and oh-so authentic. I think my screen was smoldering.
