Andrew Garfield Shows Courage, as His Project With Florence Pugh Gets a Little Too Close to His Mother’s Death’s Grief
If there is one thing to know about Andrew Garfield apart from his mounting presence on screen is his chameleon-like ability to become one with all his characters. A nerdy superhero living with his aunt? He is your man. A composer chasing greatness and burning out in the process? Why, it is practically written in his bones. A wronged best friend turned bitter competitor? Oh, he has got that betrayal down pat. However, this ability to fit in like a glove was based solely on his remarkable acting prowess until his upcoming project.
Garfield's upcoming project already shaping up to be a thing of beauty alongside Florence Pugh promises to hit closer to home than ever before as the actor reveals parallels from his own life.

With actors as incredible as Florence Pugh and Andrew Garfield booked in the upcoming flick, WE LIVE IN TIME had already cemented itself in audiences' hearts. However, just how deep the dagger was going to be only became clear as Andrew Garfield revealed in his interview with Vanity Fair, that the movie dwells on exploring grief, borrowing from his own experience of losing his mother to pancreatic cancer in 2019.
This time around, the actor has put himself in shoes that were similar to those he has worn in real life, making vulnerability the winning arc of the movie. Garfield's performances have always hit a little too close to home for the audience, and the revelation that the actor was going through the same for WE LIVE IN TIME is bound to add stars more valuable than reviews to the John Crowley masterpiece.
Garfield's personal touch is not the only element promising to make the movie an emotional ride, as the team describes it as the 'shared experience of loss and love'.

While the Barbenheimer phenomenon may have unfolded last year, it was 2024 with releases like Bad Boys: Ride or Die, Deadpool & Wolverine, Dune: Part Two and many more that truly brought back life to theaters. However, in the rat race of marketing, as some movies lost perspective and allegedly drove the actors to choose their way out from Hollywood, WE LIVE IN TIME remains consistent with its theme of 'nakedly emotional'.
A movie that through the trailer itself gave fans an inkling into just how deep the sea of tears is going to be, has through its promotions further solidified its foundation- loss and love. With this glaring green tick already on the checklist, and Garfield and Pugh's performance bound to add another, WE LIVE IN TIME will likely make it to the top in time.
