    We Live in Time

    ★★★★

    Missing out on this movie when it first came out turned out to be a blessing in disguise. Many reviews I’ve read suggest that the overwhelming hype surrounding it did more harm than good, but by the time I watched it, I had completely forgotten about all the buzz. This allowed me to enjoy the film without any preconceived expectations. It was a beautiful yet heartbreaking story, and carried by two exceptional performances from Andrew Garfield and Florence Pugh.

    If you watched this movie at release and were slightly underwhelmed give it another chance after some time.

    There is a lot to unpack with this one. I’ll start with saying the cinematography is perfect. Every shot of every scene is thoughtfully and masterfully executed. It adds such a beautiful layer to this film and is just one of many reasons why it earned 5 stars from me. Obviously, there is the story as well. I won’t lie it took two hours of the two and a half hours of runtime for me to truly understand and appreciate…

    From Up on Poppy Hill has so much to love and appreciate. I found this movie to be a very comforting and easy watch with great rewatch potential. The wild subplot is kinda distracting I won’t lie, but the movie is carried by the amazing animation (shocker) and top tier soundtrack. Studio Ghibli is 2 for 2 so far in my book with this being another great Cynthia recommendation. 

    Rankings list will be made soon so rating may change
