Plot

An up-and-coming chef and a recent divorcée find their lives forever changed when a chance encounter brings them together, in a decade-spanning, deeply moving romance.. When Florence Pugh couldn't make it to the film's premiere due to other filming commitments, Andrew Garfield brought a life-sized cutout of her to fill her absence..

Is It a SinWritten by Al HazanPerformed by Allie Hazan

Referenced in Cinefiliando-Peliculeando: El tiempo que tenemos (We Live in Time) (2024). Never has the gap between my expectations and the actual impact of the film been so vast.

The writing and soundtrack were totally forgettable, despite Pugh and Garfield putting in great performances of what was available to them

The possibilities were so high with casting two of the greatest actors of our time- and even they could not make the movie have a soul. The back and forth timeline made for an incomplete emotional journey, as there was no build up or stakes to be invested in.

Both characters fell very flat, and I felt very little emotional investment in them

I had such high hopes and was counting down the days for this film, and was sorely disappointed upon leaving the screening. Hope someone casts the two together in a future film and gives them a better opportunity to create a masterpiece.
