Todo Tempo que Temos

In a time where an avalanche of "content" constantly vies for your attention, is there still a place for telling a "simple" story as familiar as toasted bread and a warm bowl of chicken soup? I thought so... before watching We Live in Time. Maybe that kind of "space" is forever gone?

We Live in Time is meticulously crafted with palpable love and care, no doubt. But, despite committed performances from its two charismatic leads and attempts to make the film more "interesting" through its non-linear storytelling, it ultimately failed to engage me. I'm saddened to admit that I feel like I wasted my precious time watching it.

Clichés are clichés - no matter how heartrendingly they are presented. We all need comfort food, like a warm bowl of chicken soup, sometimes, but when we go to the movies, we're looking for an "adventure" - something more illuminating and artful. That's the magic of cinema. As it stands, this feels more like a streaming movie - though not a very good one.
