Gary Goldstein Los Angeles Times A hollow concoction of sex, politics and endless chatter that's just a few camera angles short of hard-core porn. Rated: 2/5 Feb 24, 2011 Full Review Jeannette Catsoulis New York Times Exudes an amiably accessible vibe that softens the edges of its freewheeling explicitness. Rated: 3/5 Feb 18, 2011 Full Review V.A. Musetto New York Post Sex or politics? Politics or sex? Director-writer Philippe Diaz can't decide what "Now & Later" should be about. So he mixes the two -- and comes up with a murky mess. Rated: 1/4 Feb 18, 2011 Full Review Mark R. Leeper Mark Leeper's Reviews The politics is probably more entertaining than the sex and neither is particularly new and exciting. Rated: 5/10 Dec 7, 2011 Full Review Ron Wilkinson Monsters and Critics A cast and crew of newcomers bring a social/political manifesto to the big screen with mixed results. Rated: 5/10 Mar 2, 2011 Full Review Kam Williams NewsBlaze The most sexplicit romp you'll encounter in theaters this year, guaranteed! Rated: 3/4 Feb 18, 2011 Full Review Read all reviews

Audience Member At the very beginning we are welcomed with Wilhelm Reich's quote: "A sexually repressed society will resort to violence". He is an international trader - a speculator who grew up in a typical American family devoted to power and success. She is an illegal immigrant from Nicaragua, and works as a volunteer in a free clinic. When they meet it's a collision of worlds (quite literally) with plenty of sex and conversations about politics, philosophy, and other worldly pleasures. This movie very effectively raises its voice against the culture in which violence is considered to be top-notch entertainment, while sex is taboo and shame. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/15/23 Full Review Audience Member The title should be NOW AND LAME-ASS. What a colossal piece of rubbish. Sadly, any hardcore porno offers better acting and sex you might actually enjoy. I've seen better chemistry at middle school dances. You'd be well advised to pound a fifth of vodka and pass out for 2 hours rather than watch this movie. It's about 3 grades below Cinemax. Screw you if you go ahead and watch this movie despite my admonishment. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/06/23 Full Review Audience Member Utterly horrendous. "Disappointing" would be a grave understatement. Watching only half of this movie has pissed me off for twice as long ... I can never get that hour+ of my life back. Straight up colossal waste of time. Those who put this in the "porn" category have sex lives I simply want nothing to do with. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 02/24/23 Full Review Audience Member Looking at the reviews they seem to prove the point about a sexually repressed society. Intelligent political touching. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 01/27/23 Full Review Audience Member Well, what can I say... sex always sells. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/04/23 Full Review Audience Member "To exist is the only thing that matters, to exist here and now." Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/22/23 Full Review Read all reviews
