On paper, We Live in Time seems thoughtfully formulated to be the perfect tearjerker for today. John Crowley, the celebrated helmer of the stunning Saoirse Ronan romance Brooklyn, teams with heralded actors/internet darlings Florence Pugh and Andrew Garfield in a weepy romance of wooing and tragic loss.

If you’re in the mood for a good cry, then go ahead and watch We Live In Time, aka the Andrew Garfield and Florence Pugh movie that is now streaming on Max. Ugh, I thought this was going to be a cute movie about a goofy carousel horse!

Anyone up for a triple-hanky tearjerker may find what they’re looking for in We Live in Time (now streaming on Max), the occasionally funny, more than occasionally weepy cancer romance starring Florence Pugh and Andrew Garfield.
