WE LIVE IN TIME MOVIE REVIEW
Who knew that what the world needed right now is the ridiculous amount of charisma of Florence Pugh and Andrew Garfield in a romance? Directed by John Crowley (Brooklyn, Boy A), We Live In Time tells the story of Almut (Pugh) and Tobias (Garfield) and how their car crash-cute goes from sweeping romance to a devastatingly bittersweet end. Since their story is told in non-linear fashion, we find out very quickly that Almut has cancer and now has to deal with the fact that she may not live long enough to do everything she’s ever wanted to do. After finding out the news, she pitches to Tobias that maybe she doesn’t want to go through the hell that is chemotherapy and live their best lives together with their insanely cute daughter Ella (Grace Delaney). Resistant at first, Tobias then agrees and accepts the cards Almut has been dealt and the film moves back and forth with them through time. We go through ups and downs in the relationship over the years where we witness how utterly charming and sexy Pugh and Garfield are together. Almut’s ego does get in the way though as she’s one of the UK’s top chefs and has the chance to compete in an international competition. This longing to be the best puts the family’s plan in jeopardy, but the way Crowley handles the sensitive subject is graceful. Wright, Kate, and Nathan discuss We Live In Time and tell if they merely liked it or absolutely loved it.

YOUR REVIEWERS
Wright Sulek (Screener Squad, Digital Noise, Highly Suspect Reviews, Trash in the Can, Audio Editor)
Wright hails from the northern suburbs of Dallas, Texas. His passion for filmmaking brought him to Austin to study and make movies. Since then he’s had his hand in acting, writing, and directing his own short films with numerous like-minded film geeks he’s met along his journey. His newest interest has brought him into the podcasting world. He co-hosted a few different movie related podcasts such as ‘And Now This’ and ‘The Match Cut’. He currently co-hosts with longtime friend, Eric Samaniego, where they talk shop about the grimiest, trashiest, lost gems of movies on their show, ‘Trash in the Can’. Wright also guests and hosts reviews on Screener Squad and Highly Suspect Reviews as well as co-hosts Digital Noise with Chris Cox.
Nathan Flynn (Screener Squad, Highly Suspect Reviews)
A recent transplant to Austin originally hailing from the wretched hive of scum and villainy that is the Midwest, Nathan Flynn has been a movie super freak since he saw “An American Werewolf in London” way too young and grew up worshipping the James Bond franchise and all things related to Cold War-era spycraft. When he’s not watching movies and being a constant defender of the Tron franchise, he can be found practicing his second biggest love: cooking (having been a chef for 10+ years) and hitting his head up against a desk to write screenplays that nobody reads. He also spearheads his own podcast on the Mission Impossible franchise titled “Mission: Impodible”. He can be found rarely posting on his personal twitter.
Kate Chambers (Highly Suspect Reviews, Screener Squad)
Kate is a certified horror fiend and Horse Girl™. Her name isn’t short for anything. A native Austinite, she graduated with a BFA in Film Production from the University of Colorado Boulder then returned to the Lone Star State to make her home amid the cinephiles of the Alamo Drafthouse and the Austin Film Society. In her spare time, you can find her either down at the barn with her noble steed Jazz, watching as many movies as possible (often at work), cuddling with her pair of black cats and writing horror scripts, or nursing a beer in any available body of water… or doing Duolingo, where she’s currently on a 1000+ day streak.
