From available information, 'We Live in Time' foregrounds themes of identity and modern relationships, with character backgrounds and diversity given significant narrative priority. Some may interpret this as story and character arcs bending to 'woke' sensibilities, occasionally sidelining personality and classic storytelling beats for sociopolitical checkboxes.

The film reportedly challenges traditional family structures and gently subverts typical gender roles, particularly in its depiction of fatherhood and partnership. While it’s not aggressively anti-tradition, it clearly prefers more progressive interpretations of family and romance.

Traditional viewpoints, on gender, family, or social roles, struggle to find authentic representation here. Dissenting or non-modern perspectives show up mainly as obstacles for the main characters, rather than genuine alternatives. The worldview is strikingly one-sided.
