Florence Pugh and Andrew Garfield’s Tearjerker Is Officially a Prime Video Streaming Sensation

Florence Pugh is one of the most talented actors working today, and she’s about to become the biggest face in global theaters next month. The world has been patiently counting down the days until the so-called “Dunesday” on December 18, when both Avengers: Doomsday and Denis Villeneuve‘s Dune: Part Three hit theaters. The former features one of the biggest casts ever and is the biggest swing from the MCU this decade, and the latter is the culmination of an epic three-part sci-fi adaptation that is sure to make an impact at the Oscars.

Both films feature eye-catching cast lists, with it seeming like no major Hollywood star is missing from the lineup of either. Only one woman is involved in both, the aforementioned Pugh, who will be reprising her role as Yelena Belova in Doomsday, following her surprise appearance in Spider-Man: Brand New Day, and featuring as Princess Irulan alongside the likes of Timothée Chalamet‘s Paul Atreides, Zendaya‘s Chani, Javier Bardem‘s Stilgar, Rebecca Ferguson‘s Lady Jessica, and Anya Taylor-Joy‘s Alia Atreides in Dune: Part Three.

In anticipation of Pugh’s big double-feature, one of her best recent performances is going viral on global streaming. At the time of writing, her tearjerking drama We Live in Time is the fifth-most-watched movie on Prime Video worldwide, a list topped by the hit new romantic drama, Love of Your Life. We Live in Time is a true gem in Pugh’s catalog, as she joins Andrew Garfield in a time-crossing tale of love, loss, and the importance of valuing relationships.

Four teams, four completely different reasons to put yourself in danger
for strangers. This is the roster you actually belong on, what they would want from you, and what it
would cost you to stay.

You belong where the stakes are largest and the personalities are
loudest. This is a team of people who are all used to being the most important person in the
room, which is exactly why it works and exactly why it keeps nearly falling apart.

• The Avengers are not friends who became a team. They are a team that slowly and
  reluctantly became friends, and you would recognise every stage of that process.
• You can hold your own among big egos without needing to win every exchange, which is the
  real entry requirement here.
• The arguing is part of the method. This group does its best thinking mid-disagreement,
  usually at volume, usually in a very expensive building.
• When the sky opens, they are who shows up. You would want to be standing in that line.

You have never had the luxury of being thanked for this. The
X-Men protect a world that has never once been comfortable with them existing, and something
in you understands exactly why they keep doing it anyway.

• This is the only team on the list whose central conflict is not a villain. It is being
  wanted gone by the same people they keep saving.
• You know what it is to be the outsider in a room and to decide, anyway, that you will
  not make yourself smaller so everyone else is comfortable.
• The X-Men are the most genuine found family in comics. People arrive with nowhere else
  to go and are never once asked to explain themselves.
• You would not be joining for the glory. There has never been any.

You do not want colleagues, you want your people. The Titans are
the team where the friendship came first and the world-saving turned up afterwards as an
inconvenient side effect.

• Every Titan is somebody’s sidekick who decided to stop being one. That decision, not the
  villain of the week, is what the team is actually about.
• You would be joining people who are all working themselves out at the same time as you,
  which is far less lonely than being the only one.
• The Titans lose regularly. Then they eat together and come back better, which is a more
  honest model of growing up than any other team here manages.
• The tower would be loud, chaotic, and the first place that ever felt like yours.

You are not asking who to trust. You worked out the answer a
while ago and it was nobody in a cape. This is where you go once you have decided the people
in charge need watching, and that nobody else is going to do it.

• The Boys have no powers, no mandate and no funding. What they have is leverage,
  patience, and a very high tolerance for consequences.
• You are the person in the room who notices the thing everybody else has quietly agreed
  not to mention.
• This is not a heroic team and it has never pretended otherwise. It is a group of damaged
  people doing necessary work in ways nobody would call clean.
• You would not sleep well. You would keep going anyway.
