NextBestPicture’s Matt Negalia wrote, “WE LIVE IN TIME is basically Florence Pugh & Andrew Garfield being in love and living a life together for nearly two hours and the results are surprisingly sweet & emotional. Much funnier than expected, the charm of the two leads (and a moving score) elevates this non-linear modern UK love story to become something utterly heartbreaking, though, some may still take issue with its meandering & basic plot as much of it can feel like watching an elongated montage.”
