We Live In Time

Release date: November 6

Romance is where it's at. We can't explain the whimsy romantic comedies possess, but add some drama and you have countless people activating suspension of disbelief if it means that love can conquer all, even for just a moment, amid chaos and laughter. We Live In Time centers around the relationship of Tobias and Almut (played by Andrew Garfield and Florence Pugh!), two very different people who form an unlikely connection over the course of a decade. The film utilizes non-linear storytelling, so if you enjoyed 500 Days of Summer, you don't want to miss this—especially with the two actors leading.

The Heirloom: Pusaka

Release date: November 6

It wouldn't be a list without some dose of horror. The Heirloom: Pusaka takes place in a large villa belonging to a collector, which is set to be renovated into a museum.

The Indonesian horror film stars actors Susan Sameh, Ajil Ditto, and Ully Triani and is directed by Rizal Mantovani.
