We Live in Time has people typing the same question into search bars over and over, with Netflix somewhere in the mix of every answer that comes back. The 2024 romantic drama, led by Florence Pugh and Andrew Garfield, turned into one of the most talked-about tearjerkers of the year. Their chemistry carried the film through a story that jumped across time, and audiences quickly grew attached to the pairing on screen. The question of where exactly to catch it, though, comes with more nuance than a simple search bar answer.

While the film's title plays with time itself, its home on various platforms has shifted just as unpredictably, and one region tells a very different story.

Max holds the official home of We Live in Time in the United States, having debuted the film there in February 2025 alongside HBO linear airings. The United Kingdom saw a different arrangement altogether, with Netflix picking up the title around July 2025 before quietly dropping it by early 2026. Renting or buying remains the steadiest option, with Prime Video, Apple TV, and Fandango at Home all carrying it for a few dollars. Anyone chasing a guaranteed watch should treat digital rental as the dependable route rather than betting on a rotating library.

Beyond platform hopping, the film carries real numbers behind it that rarely make the rounds. Critics landed around a 79% approval with a 7.0 average, while audiences pushed past 83% on Rotten Tomatoes, a gap that flatters the emotional pull of the story. Box office returns crossed 58 million dollars worldwide against a modest indie budget, a rare feat for a film this quiet in scale. John Crowley directed the piece, working again with the kind of restrained emotional tone he built in Brooklyn.

As the search for a home continues, Pugh and Garfield's individual paths on Netflix tell a fuller story worth following.

Florence Pugh's Netflix catalog includes The Wonder, a period mystery built around a fasting girl in nineteenth century Ireland, alongside the horror title Malevolent. Andrew Garfield fans can find Hacksaw Ridge and Tick Tick Boom on the platform, depending on region, both showcasing a very different register from his turn as Tobias. Pugh's name was also circulating recently for The Midnight Library.

That fantasy drama, based on Matt Haig's novel, sits alongside another major Pugh project in Netflix's East of Eden, where she takes on Cathy Ames in a Steinbeck adaptation stacked with a strong ensemble. Between Garfield's older Netflix titles and Pugh's growing slate of upcoming work, the pair keep circling the platform even as We Live in Time stays parked on Max for now. The film itself remains best reached through rental services until its next streaming shift arrives.
