Florence Pugh and Andrew Garfield deliver emotionally raw performances in Director John Crowley’s latest.
We Live in Time tells the exhilarating romance between Almut (Pugh) and Tobias (Garfield). Their endearing romance begins in the quirkiest way when Almut hits Tobias with her car. From then on, they’re a unit. The two face life’s joys and upheavals together. They fight. They love. But most importantly, they experience life.
Romance films are hit-and-miss. It’s rare we get one that haunts us. We Live in Time is one that will haunt us. Almut and Tobias share a rare love. One based on unflinching honesty, intimate humor, and loaded with infinite love.
Nick Payne’s script tells their story non-linearly over three distinct timelines. One follows them as they meet. Another while they are pregnant. And the final is when Almut is given a medical diagnosis that treatment may or may not cure. Telling the story in this way allows the audience to understand their love on a deeper level.
This romance is exquisitely acted between Pugh and Garfield. Their chemistry is astronomical. Pugh is a powerhouse as a woman who wants to balance her professional life as a chef with her personal one as a mother. Garfield gives a gut-wrenching performance as a man who’s terrified he’s going to lose the woman he loves. He gives a restrained performance that shows a well of intense emotions.
We Live in Time screens at TIFF ’24:
Fri, Sept 6 at 9:30 PM at VISA Screening Room at the Princess of Wales Theatre

THE WONDER, starring Florence Pugh and adapted from Emma Donoghue‘s acclaimed Novel, just premiered at TIFF ’22 and here’s a first look at the Trailer.
About THE WONDER:
The Irish Midlands, 1862 – a young girl stops eating but remains miraculously alive and well. English nurse Lib Wright is brought to a tiny village to observe eleven-year old Anna O’Donnell. Tourists and pilgrims mass to witness the girl who is said to have survived without food for months. Is the village harbouring a saint ‘surviving on manna from heaven’ or are there more ominous motives at work?
A psychological thriller inspired by the 19th century phenomenon of the “fasting girls” and adapted from the acclaimed novel by Emma Donoghue (writer of Room).
THE WONDER streams November 16, 2022 on Netflix.

By Nicholas Porteous
Florence Pugh, as a solemn English nurse, visits a hyper-religious Irish village to watch over a child who claims to have survived four months without food–worshipped as a miracle. Pugh‘s rational approach clashes with the deep-seated beliefs of the community, and the life of the child hangs in the balance.
Left, right and center, people were checking their phones throughout this Movie. While I find that behaviour super lame–ESPECIALLY during a Festival film, it is indicative of just how restless my audience was. To be fair, this is a pretty dry, dreary period piece with minimal dialogue and lots of long walks through vast fields. Visually, it has a lot of nice texture to it. The strange choral score is as refreshing as it is haunting. The performances are good across the board, but they’re also not particularly demanding–mostly requiring a lot of restraint.
The Wonder is all about belief, and how a collective, communal belief can seem as real as any fact. It establishes this theme by opening with a fourth wall-breaking view of the soundstage the Movie is being filmed on, and an extremely meta voiceover explaining we’re watching a movie filled with Actors who deeply believe in the story they’re telling. I think the Movie is trying to say we all believe in things that aren’t necessarily proveable or scientific, and this movie is one of those things. It’s a flimsy metaphor, because I don’t know anyone who literally believes movies are real to the same extent that these people believe a child can survive without food. Moreover, without spoiling anything, I found the ending of this particular Movie preposterous. And the more I think about it, the more toxic I find its message as it relates to the present. I also don’t find these ideas narratively or cinematically satisfying at all, particularly as a means of justifying an absurd ending.
THE WONDER screens at TIFF ’22 as follows:
Tues, Sep 13 IN-PERSON TIFF Bell Lightbox 6:45pm
Wed, Sep 14 IN-PERSON TIFF Bell Lightbox 2:00pm

Synopsis:
From New Line Cinema comes “Don’t Worry Darling,” directed by Olivia Wilde (“Booksmart”) and starring Florence Pugh (Oscar-nominated for “Little Women”), Harry Styles (“Dunkirk”), Wilde (upcoming “Babylon”), Gemma Chan (“Crazy Rich Asians”), KiKi Layne (“The Old Guard”) and Chris Pine (“All the Old Knives”).
Alice (Pugh) and Jack (Styles) are lucky to be living in the idealized community of Victory, the experimental company town housing the men who work for the top-secret Victory Project and their families. The 1950’s societal optimism espoused by their CEO, Frank (Pine)—equal parts corporate visionary and motivational life coach—anchors every aspect of daily life in the tight-knit desert utopia.
While the husbands spend every day inside the Victory Project Headquarters, working on the “development of progressive materials,” their wives—including Frank’s elegant partner, Shelley (Chan)—get to spend their time enjoying the beauty, luxury and debauchery of their community. Life is perfect, with every resident’s needs met by the company. All they ask in return is discretion and unquestioning commitment to the Victory cause.
But when cracks in their idyllic life begin to appear, exposing flashes of something much more sinister lurking beneath the attractive façade, Alice can’t help questioning exactly what they’re doing in Victory, and why. Just how much is Alice willing to lose to expose what’s really going on in this paradise?
An audacious, twisted and visually stunning psychological thriller, “Don’t Worry Darling” is a powerhouse feature from director Olivia Wilde that boasts intoxicating performances from Florence Pugh and Harry Styles, surrounded by the impressive and pitch-perfect cast.
The film also stars Nick Kroll (“How It Ends”), Sydney Chandler (“Pistol”), Kate Berlant (“Once Upon a Time… In Hollywood”), Asif Ali (“WandaVision”), Douglas Smith (“Big Little Lies”), Timothy Simons (“Veep”) and Ari’el Stachel (upcoming “Respect the Jux”).
Wilde directs from a screenplay penned by her “Booksmart” writer Katie Silberman, based on a story by Carey Van Dyke & Shane Van Dyke (“Chernobyl Diaries”) and Silberman. The film is produced by Wilde, Silberman, Miri Yoon and Roy Lee, with Richard Brener, Celia Khong, Alex G. Scott, Catherine Hardwicke, Carey Van Dyke and Shane Van Dyke executive producing.
A New Line Cinema presentation, “Don’t Worry Darling” will be distributed worldwide by Warner Bros. Pictures and is set to open in theatres in North America on September 23, 2022 and internationally beginning 21 September 2022.
