Almut: Why the rush?
Narrative
An up-and-coming chef and a recent divorcee find their lives changed forever when a chance encounter brings them together in a deeply moving romance that has lasted a decade. When Florence Pugh was unable to attend the film’s premiere due to other filming commitments, Andrew Garfield brought a life-size cutout of her to fill in for her absence. During the living room scene With the Candles and the Fire, Almut closes Tobias’ notebook, but in the next shot, it is open.

Tobias: Because I’m afraid there’s a very distinct and real possibility that I’m about to fall in love with you. Referenced in Cinefiliando-Peliculeando: El tiempo que tenemos (We Live in Time) (2024). I went to see this movie at a free screening.
You get to know the characters
I had high hopes because the two leads are phenomenal actors. I wanted to like this movie but it felt disjointed. Most movies where something mysterious/emotional happens, there is a build-up.
You feel connected to them
In this case, there was no build-up. It was hard to really feel anything for what was happening. I’m also not a fan of movies where they put multiple timelines together that jump back and forth.
This movie was meant for Netflix, not the big screen
Especially when there’s not much to tell you which timeline you’re watching.
