We Live in Time's audience score has been revealed. Premiering at the Toronto International Film Festival last month, We Live in Time is a sweeping romance story about the relationship between Almut and Tobias, two people who have an unexpected meet-cute. As their lives and romance unfold over a decade, the two grapple with a serious issue as Almut's health takes a turn. We Live in Time features a leading cast including Andrew Garfield, Florence Pugh, Grace Delaney, Lee Braithwaite, Aoife Hinds, Adam James, Douglas Hodge, and Amy Morgan.

Now that the film has been released, the Rotten Tomatoes audience score has been revealed for We Live in Time. At the time of writing, the film's audience Popcornmeter holds an impressive 88% score with over 250 verified ratings. This is higher than the film's Tomatometer, but that score is still positive at a Certified Fresh 80%. The Tomatometer is composed of reviews from 133 critics.

Irish director John Crowley and his “We Live in Time” actor Andrew Garfield hosted the last of this year’s star-studded San Sebastian press conferences for their Official Selection player, which will close the 72nd edition of the festival this evening.

Also starring Florence Pugh, “We Live in Time,” written by acclaimed playwright Nick Payne (“The Crown”), is the time-twisted love story of Almut and Tobias. Through disordered snapshots of their life together, the two experience great joys like parenthood, meeting each other’s families, a marriage proposal, and life-changing tragedies such as divorce and a recurring ovarian cancer diagnosis. The couple learns through their shared memories to cherish each moment of the roundabout path their relationship has traveled.

During Saturday morning’s press conference, Garfield said he was in a contemplative place when Payne’s screenplay crossed his desk. “When I read [the script], I was in deep contemplation of the meaning of life.

The idea of a non-linear time-spanning look at a marriage is not new. The absolute pinnacle of the idea still to me is director Stanley Donen’s and writer Fredric Raphael’s wonderfully sophisticated 1967 comedy Two For the Road, in which Audrey Hepburn and Albert Finney flip back and forth in the course of their 12-year marriage. It was so ahead of its time, not just with the idea but in the editing technique used throughout. An absolute classic that didn’t get its full due in its day.

Now the latest in this subgenre is We Live In Time, the romantic comedy from director John Crowley and writer Nick Payne, which attempts to chronicle the decade-old relationship and marriage between Almut (Florence Pugh) and Tobias (Andrew Garfield). The style isn’t as tricky as Two For the Road’s, but what it undeniably shares in common...
