Our take

A wickedly conceptual comedy about life choices, Right Now, Wrong Then is perfectly divided into a bifurcated structure: two duelling narratives offer varying possibilities, chances, and outcomes. Naturally, all of Hong’s storytelling gambits paid off in this remarkable Golden Leopard winner.
