A film of immense intelligence and psychological subtlety, Right Now, Wrong Then, like almost all of Hong Sang-Soo's films, is absolutely fun and enjoyable but with an undercurrent of unedited humanism... [Full review in Spanish]

| Original Score: 4.5/5 | Nov 16, 2022

Right Now, Wrong Then is one of the more appealing of [Hong's] works. Essentially, the same story plays out twice, with slight but significant variations.

The master of unreliable narrative returns with a different but familiar take...

| Original Score: 4/5 | Sep 23, 2020

Another quiet study on reflections of loneliness, this early union between Sang-soo and muse Kim Min-hee is as effortlessly playful as it is charming.

'Right Now, Wrong Then', which is Hong Sangsoo's 17th job as a director (and screenwriter), is a clear example of his talent. [Full Review in Spanish]

The film isn't an exercise in story as much as it is one of concept- the gimmick this time around being how the "wrong" course of conversation can lead to the "right" results, and vice-versa.

Hong's low-key humor and dry comedy also feel sorely missed here, with a lot of the film amounting to watching characters have rather dull conversations.

| Original Score: 5/10 | May 25, 2019

Low-key and charming, Right Now, Wrong Then rewards with some understated and nuanced performances, and a sizeable dose of poignancy and emotional truth.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Apr 19, 2019

Quantum physics meets the French New Wave in "Right Now, Wrong Then"...

| Feb 14, 2018

This doubled up story is thoughtful, introspective, and reflective on how subtle changes can affect outcomes large and small.

| Original Score: 6/10 | Mar 22, 2017

A caressing melody film based on exposition of the subject and a single rough variation, a disjunctive and arborescent exercise. [Full review in Spanish]

This film is actually two different versions of the same story, one slightly more agreeable than the other, about a romantic encounter between two people, both artists, over a two day period in Korea.

| Original Score: C+ | Feb 7, 2017

I'm not one of Hong's diehard followers, but this movie's likely a great place to start if you've never seen one of his films.

| Jan 19, 2017

Ultimately, the whole suggests that Sang-soo is more interested in art for art's sake than in communicating with his audience.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Nov 11, 2016

A simple story where the Korean director addresses complex issues through extensive dialogues, such as vanity and hidden agendas in the talks. [Full review in Spanish]

| Oct 20, 2016

A fascinating narrative game in which we see the same story of love/heartbreak/seduction/ridicule repeated before us. Another valuable film from Hong.[Full review in Spanish]

Sang-soo has made an absolutely memorable and charming film with his characteristic sense of humor. [Full review in Spanish]

| Original Score: 4.5/5 | Oct 17, 2016

A fresh film that condenses the characteristics of the authorial signature of Hong Sang-soo, repetition in an infinite loop as something innovative. [Full review in Spanish]

| Oct 17, 2016

It's a rich work that is by turns contemplative and comic.
