Florence Pugh tears up at her film, We Live in Time premiere at TIFF: ‘Watching it…’
Florence Pugh and Andrew Garfield express deep emotion and praise director John Crowley after the film's touching screening.
A24’s new production starring Florence Pugh and Andrew Garfield made not just the members of the audience but the cast of We Live In Time tear up as well. The film revolves around the couple played by Pugh and Garfield where the former is diagnosed with ovarian cancer, stage 3 and has a daughter. The room was in tears at the Princess of Whales Theatre in Toronto at the World TIFF premiere.

In the post-Q&A session after the screening, Pugh was spotted sobbing softly as she said, “It was so amazing, it was such a pleasure shooting this movie. Watching it…is like life unfolding and we’re all doing it right now,” as reported by Deadline. Given it's a non-linear film, the audience will get to experience the struggling couple’s highs in one frame and their lows in the next. The movie will give viewers a roller coaster ride from experiencing the moment when they first met to their struggles with Pugh’s character Almut’s struggles.
Talking about the making of the film, Garfield said, “There was a surrender that we wanted to happen in this film, a trust and letting go, and that was a theme in the film. There were moments tonight that moved me in a way that I hadn’t been moved before. (It’s about) two people who just want to live.”
