“Fate: The Winx Saga” star Hannah van der Westhuysen will make their directorial debut with the short film “Peter,” starring “We Live in Time” breakout Lee Braithwaite.

Written by van der Westhuysen and produced by the Oscar-winning Slick Films (“The Silent Child”) and “Sex Education” actor George Somner’s 13:8 Films, “Peter” follows Elliott (Braithwaite), a young trans man caring for his father, Peter, who is living with alcohol-induced dementia.

“When Peter offers Elliott his old clothes — a seemingly small gesture — it takes on profound meaning,” the short’s official synopsis reads. “Is Peter’s momentary acceptance a byproduct of his memory loss, or has his vulnerability allowed him to truly see Elliott, both as his son and the man he’s become?”

“For me, this film is about dignity and identity — maintaining both when the world or your circumstances threaten to strip them away,” van der Westhuysen said in a statement.

I need to come clean: I’m not the biggest fan of romance movies. Shocker, I know, given I’ve managed to write about anything but. But, there was something about ‘We Live in Time’ that drew me to the theater. This touching romance drama follows the lives of Almut (Florence Pugh) and Tobias (Andrew Garfield) as their futures intertwine after she runs him over and sends him to the hospital. Though a wild meet-cute, ‘We Live in Time’ settles into a familiarity that we all want in our own lives. It was refreshing to see a romance film outside of the context of someone forcing me to watch it while I was trying to get over something or someone, and what a movie to break that cycle with. I left the film in tears, sad but impressed at how A24 decided to produce this film. The manner of storytelling has garnered some mixed reactions,...

From the silent era to the Covid era, the weepie has remained one of the sturdiest of film genres. There’s typically romance and whimsy, before cancer—or some other disease—sweeps in to pull the rug out from under two lovebirds. Throw two stellar actors into the mix and the film is often a slam dunk. While John Crowley’s We Live in Time ticks all those boxes, it blunts the force of the naturalistic performances by Florence Pugh and Andrew Garfield as it shifts around the timeline of the story with little rhyme, reason, or rhythm.

We first meet Almut (Pugh) and Tobias (Garfield) when the former, a renowned chef, wakes the latter up to try a new type of parfait that she made. Throughout the next several minutes, the film repeatedly jumps forward in time to catch sight of a very pregnant Almut having contractions, then doubling...

After starring alongside Tom Holland and Tobey Maguire in Spider-Man: No Way Home, Andrew Garfield recently revealed who his favorite all-time Spider-Man is and spoiler, it's not himself.

In Vanity Fair's most recent "Test How Well You Know Each Other" video, Garfield sat down with We Live in Time co-star Florence Pugh, who attempted to answer who she believed Garfield's favorite on-screen Spider-Man was. Pugh couldn't guess, so Garfield revealed that Maguire was his favorite, saying, "Tobey was my guy." Garfield would further reveal that as an aspiring actor, he looked up to Maguire, but was sure not to diss Holland in the process. "I was in drama school and I was watching his films as a young impressionable actor and I was like practicing being him. But I love, I think what Tom has done is incredible as well. Like, I kind of love them both equally."
