Andrew Garfield rocked the Toronto International Film Festival this year with Florence Pugh, revealing the magic of WE LIVE IN TIME with its worldwide premiere. From the get-go, Garfield and Pugh were neck deep in the narrative, pouring their heart into the film and setting the stage for a masterpiece. With critics raving about it as one of the year's brightest gems, the Oscar chatter for the movie is under construction since WE LIVE IN TIME is clearly determined to seize its moment, all thanks to the stellar combo of Garfield and Pugh.

Film Updates on X just spilled beans on John Crowley’s WE LIVE IN TIME, and the first reactions are already calling it “one of the year’s best.” Andrew Garfield shared with Vanity Fair that the film’s portrayal of grief hits hard because it taps into his own raw experience after losing his mom to pancreatic cancer in 2019. Channeling that heartache, the “devastated” Garfield has poured his soul into the movie, giving fans a powerful glimpse of what real pain looks like.
