They were once everything to each other — now, they’re just two people trying to remember why. The Way We Were: Then and Now (2026) reunites Julia Roberts and George Clooney in a sweeping romantic drama about time, forgiveness, and the love that never truly left.
Kate Morosky (Julia Roberts), now an acclaimed author and lecturer, has spent years turning heartbreak into wisdom. Henry Gardner (George Clooney), a retired screenwriter, lives quietly in Los Angeles — until an old interview resurfaces, reigniting public fascination with their long-ago romance.
When they’re invited to reunite for a televised retrospective, both reluctantly agree — and what begins as a polite reunion soon unravels into laughter, argument, and painful honesty. As they revisit old letters, memories, and the places that shaped them, they begin to see the truth: they never stopped caring — they just stopped trying.
Meanwhile, their daughter Lila (Florence Pugh), a rising journalist, witnesses her parents’ rediscovery of each other and begins to question her own definition of love — one that may be closer to theirs than she wants to admit.
Bittersweet, witty, and deeply emotional, Then and Now is a love story about what happens after the credits roll — when time changes everything except the heart.
💫 “Years apart. One last chance to remember who they were.”
