“I’ve her fragrance in my home that my mum used to put on once I was a child. I’ve it, like, in a really particular place. I am going to similar to [smell it], once I want it.

‘Leaving a legacy behind’
Garfield stars alongside Florence Pugh within the romance movie We Reside In Time, which follows an up-and-coming chef and a Weetabix salesman via a decade of their love story.
Pugh says she loves enjoying “really strong-willed women” and says enjoying a girl coping with ovarian most cancers allowed her to take a look at the concept of making a legacy.
“She’s constantly juggling whether she does something for herself, does something for her daughter, does something for her family and ultimately, she’s allowed to do all of those things.
“I do consider that she is making an attempt to depart that type of legacy behind in order that her daughter is pleased with her.
“Just because you are a parent and you’re a mum does not mean that your wills and wants also completely vanish and disappear and you can’t have or want them too”.

‘A stage of element and care’
We Reside In Time is directed by Brooklyn filmmaker John Crowley.
Having beforehand labored with Garfield on Boy A, the Irish director says seeing Garfield and Pugh on display collectively is magic.
“All that life experience is present in his performance,” he says.
“I wouldn’t say he’s vastly different. I think the level of detail and care that he puts in the work is every bit as much as it was back then, there’s just more there now”.
We Reside In Time is in cinemas on Wednesday 1 January.
