Kattiera Nana I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

Matrixston Wow! Such a good movie.

Philippa All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

Jenni Devyn Worth seeing just to witness how winsome it is.

Amari-Sali Noted Actor(s)Ham Chun-soo (Jae-Yeong Jeong) | Hee-Jung (Min-hee Kim)Characters & StorylineHam Chun-soo is a man of a certain age, not a senior citizen but not young. Been married since his 20s but is now alone in Suwon, his wife back in Seoul, and he comes across Hee-Jung. She is young, beautiful, and with him being a famous director, a potential womanizer as well, she allows him to be in her company. With that he tries to woo her and while the first time fails, so comes if the second time he may end up with a mistress.On The FenceI Had Hopes & It Seemed Like It Could Have Been InterestingLet's start off that this movie is 2 hours. As noted countless times, most movies probably would be fine with 70 minutes, very few make 90 minutes worth it, so two hours to me means that between the screenwriter, director, and/or the editor, someone's ego couldn't be tamed. With that said, Fences is over 2 hours and I loved that, 20th Century Women is a little shy of 2 hours and I loved that, and Blue is The Warmest Color is three hours and while there is no way in hell I would sit at home and watch a three hour movie, I did like that movie. So what happened?Well, the whole movie ends pretty much around the hour mark and then it starts over. At first, I was confused, thinking I was experiencing a technical issue. Low and behold, what happens is the movie plays all over again, but is edited so that Ham Chun-soo isn't exposed for being married and a few other things were changed.This, to me, seemed so weird and stupid. Now, if this was done like An Oversimplification of Her Beauty, where it added layers to the characters after restarting, or something similar, I could perhaps get behind the movie. However, with the movie just basically rewinding so Ham Chun-soo could have a favorable outcome with Hee- Jung, I was disappointed. If only because it seemed like a few scenes were changed and the rest were sliced in from the first hour you watched. So congrats to the editor for making it seamless, but it didn't make for the best story this odd choice.Overall: Negative (Skip It)While not a horrible movie at all, you may feel like you saw two different cuts of the same movie back to back. One is the cut the director wanted and then following that is the one which tested well with audiences or vice versa. With that, you get one hour of a run of the mill movie which isn't noteworthy and is barely worth renting. But then it repeats and tries to make Hee-Jung seem more interested in Ham, have him be more open about having a wife and leaves you unable to get into their romance because he has a wife. Much less, both of them are dull as bricks, as are their associates, so believe me when I say that, despite this being on some major indie website's list, leave it alone.

Brendan Michaels Maybe it's because I haven't seen any of Sang-soo's other films but Right Now, Wrong Then left me cold and unimpressed. I can see the appeal this film has but I personally found the film a tad annoying. It feels more like a South Korean remake of The Disappearance of Eleanor Rigby that admittedly was more interesting than The Disappearance of Eleanor Rigby. I was also surprised to see Lady Hideko here. Kim Min- Hee is one of few things that are great about the film, even if she wasn't as impressive as she was in The Handmaiden. If you like the director you might like Right Now, Wrong Then but I was overall just left cold with the film.

arkid77 I've been a fan of Sang-soo for some years yet his frustrating insistence to continually repeat himself is now annoying me. Sure you can guarantee failed romance and time wasted drunk in korean bars in Sang-soo films and I'm fine with that in theory.The problem I have is that everything else once you've seen a few just seems so repetitive as well... Ie the kinds of creative characters he chooses to portray, the form of the films, the dynamics between characters, the voice over narration, I could go on and on. In totality, they are just far far too repetitive for me. I was absolutely fine with all this until this film. For me this film was like the product of a once great now semi-senile 90 year old director just repeating himself after a golden age of great films decades before.He really is starting to make the decrepit Woody Allen look original! I'll probably watch the next Sang-soo film that comes out as well but with a lot more caution not expecting much.

gelobter This film won the Golden Leopard (Best Film award) at the 2015 Locarno Film Festival. By mistake, a film director arrives in a town a day early to attend a screening of one of his films. With time to kill, he strikes up a conversation with an aspiring painter who he meets in a temple and they spend the rest of the day together. Although he finds her attractive, she is considerably younger than him and neither of them are particularly outgoing. A bit like Sliding Doors or Kieslowski's Blind Chance, the film splits into two different versions of what happens over the next 24 hours but, unlike those two films, the outcome depends not so much on chance but on how the main character chooses to behave. Any further info would inevitably contain spoilers so let's just say that it reminded me of some of Erich Roemer's films and is a sort of moral tale. Whether or not you will like Right Now, Wrong Then will probably depend on what you think of the dialogue, which pretty much dominates (there is not much action and little in the way of visuals or soundtrack). In my view, it is almost a really good film but the script needed sharpening up, as my attention started wandering off more than once. Perhaps a bit more humour and a slightly faster pace would have helped, However, it is a thought-provoking film and I found it ultimately satisfying when it ended, which is why I give it 7/10.
