New Florence Pugh Romance Movie Continues Her Rotten Tomatoes Hot Streak That Began With Oppenheimer

We Live in Time continues star Florence Pugh’s hot streak on Rotten Tomatoes. The new A24 release, which was directed by John Crowley, features a nonlinear narrative following the ups and downs of the love story between the recently divorced Tobias (Andrew Garfield) and chef Almut (Pugh) after they meet when she accidentally hits him with her car. Positive We Live in Time reviews have been pouring in for some time after the movie’s premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival in September.




Rotten Tomatoes has now aggregated quite a few additional reviews for We Live in Time ahead of the movie’s U.S. theatrical release. With 54 different critics’ reviews tabulated, the movie has earned a strongly Fresh score of 83%. This marks the fourth Fresh score that Pugh has earned in a row since appearing in a supporting role as Jean Tatlock in the Oscar-winning 2023 Christopher Nolan hit Oppenheimer, which earned a Certified Fresh score of 93% on the platform.


What We Live In Time’s Rotten Tomatoes Score Means For Florence Pugh

The Star Has Received Very Few Rotten Scores


Although 83% is a solid score, it is actually the lowest of the four-film Rotten Tomatoes streak that the We Live in Time star has earned so far. However, this current streak comes after Pugh’s starring role in A Good Person, which was written and directed by Zach Braff and earned a Rotten 57% score, falling just below the 60% threshold past which a movie can be considered Fresh. Although it is lower than its three predecessors, including Oppenheimer, the new movie is still a significant improvement over that 2023 splat. See a full breakdown of Pugh’s current streak below:

Title

RT Score

A Good Person (2023)

57%

Oppenheimer (2023)

93%

The Boy and the Heron (2023)

97%

Dune: Part Two (2024)

92%

We Live in Time (2024)

85%


This is not yet Pugh’s longest streak, as her record is six Fresh movies in a row between 2018 and 2021 with Outlaw King (63%), King Lear (91%), Fighting with My Family (93%), Midsommar (83%), Little Women (95%), and Black Widow (79%). However, it is her second-longest, and the Fresh rating for We Live in Time marks the star’s fourteenth movie to receive a positive score on the platform out of 18 titles that have received official ratings.

Our Take On We Live In Time’s Rotten Tomatoes Score

Florence Pugh Has A Shot At Her Longest Streak Yet


It remains to be seen if the prolific actor can extend this current streak after the We Live in Time release. Pugh’s next movie will be the Marvel Cinematic Universe installment Thunderbolts*, which does not yet have an official score. However, Marvel has a solid track record with Rotten Tomatoes and the movie features multiple characters from Pugh’s Fresh movie Black Widow, so it is entirely possible that her streak could extend to five in a row before long, allowing her a closer shot at beating her six-movie record.
