One of the loveliest things about watching a film like We Live in Time is watching life being lived. Director John Crowley and writer Nick Payne paint a heartwarming, often humorous, and moving picture of a couple whose love for each other simply exists. Between work and caring for a child, illness, and growing a relationship, the romantic drama is a captivating, tear-jerking experience. Its gentle and warm, like listening to waves on the beach. It lulls us into the comforts of a seemingly endless love, but its decades-spanning and non-chronological storytelling reminds us that life can always be unexpected.
