'We Live in Time,' starring Andrew Garfield and Florence Pugh, uses a nonlinear approach to storytelling to capture the more nebulous experiences of love and grief. The two actors and director John Crowley preview their approach to the drama.
with over seven years of experience in the entertainment industry. An award-winning journalist, she's written for Turner Classic Movies,, and more. She's worked at EW for six years covering film, TV, theater, music, and books. The author of EW's quarterly romance review column, "Hot Stuff," Maureen holds Master's degrees from both the University of Southern California and the University of Oxford.
Pugh, whose Almut is an ambitious chef and fiercely loving soul, finds the approach allowed her to give more weight to each scene, even if it wasn't all that different from shooting non-chronologically, as is the norm on most films. "Every scene in a movie is specifically there for a reason, but when it's jumping around like this, every single snapshot that you're seeing in their life is a core memory," she says. "It's the main event of what is going on.
For Garfield, the narrative structure also underscores the film's sense of fate. "It was fun dealing with the cause and effect of each event," he reflects. "There was something with the script that really appealed to me in the sense of the mystery of one's life and this invisible golden thread between all of these different events that are seemingly so disjointed, but amount to a support for the idea of destiny.
To craft an intense bond that is at times hilarious and others heartbreaking, the script requires exquisite chemistry between its two leads. For Garfield and Pugh, it wasn't so much about establishing a rapport or going out for meals together. It was more intangible than that. "There was something very magical that happened straight away," Pugh gushes. "We wanted to be great for each other, we wanted to meet each other, and we wanted to be there for each other.
