"We Live in Time": A heavy-handed cancer drama Florence Pugh can't save

Salon  

The generically titled “We Live in Time” is a life-affirming story about Almut, a chef, bravely facing cancer. This scene emphasizes the film’s “savor every moment” theme that “We Live in Time” relentlessly cudgels viewers with for 108 endless minutes. After Almut gets the news that her cancer needs aggressive treatment, she tells her partner Tobias that she would rather “make the most of the time she has left,” and live well for 6 months, rather than suffer for 12. “We Live in Time” then flashes back to Tobias and Almut meeting by accident, a sequence that is preposterous and a sign of how bloody awful this film truly is. For viewers who want to see a truly moving film about a couple facing cancer, “Ordinary Love,” from 2019, starring Leslie Manville and Liam Neeson, is everything “We Live in Time” should have been.
