Our take
We Live in Time is an R-rated romance following a chef and a divorcée across ten years. Expect frequent f-word kitchen banter, sexual references, partial nudity, wine at meals, and a cancer storyline with emotional hospital scenes. Reviews praise its tenderness but note adult language and bedroom content. Best for mature older teens and adults
Uplifting themes
Commitment, caregiving, and finding joy in small moments together Partners show up through career and health setbacks
