Andrew Garfield and Florence Pugh maintain the excellent chemistry they showed at the 2023 Oscars in their upcoming film, which is scheduled for a limited theatrical release. We live in time. In the heartwarming and heartbreaking trailer recently released for the R-rated love story, both actors showcased their brilliant talent for romantic comedies in the most moving and realistic way.
But while the trailer is enough to make fans curious about this tragic love story, another aspect might actually make fans cry. Because the one important thing that Pugh’s character Almut finally discovers about herself is exactly what Garfield’s mother had to go through, making his portrayal more emotional than ever.
