Something to Watch - We Live In Time

This movie is not pro hitting-people-with-your-car… but it does open up the possibilities of the unexpected good things that can come from it. We Live In Time is lead by Florence Pugh and Andrew Garfield, who play a chemistry-filled young couple that fall in love the old fashioned way, by hitting your potential suitor with your car.

What follows, we imagine, will be a series of the highest ups and downs you can ever imagine that will surely make us reevaluate our own lives in turn. Move over, Soul and Everything Everywhere All at Once, the next great existential movie may have just arrived, and it’s going to be so funny, so sad, and just so great.
