- 40The New York TimesJeannette CatsoulisThe New York TimesJeannette CatsoulisOffensive only in Mr. Wortham's dreadful acting, Now & Later is part of a series at the Quad called "Unrated: A Week of Sex in Cinema" - a title that should ensure plenty of backsides on seats.
- 40VarietyRonnie ScheibVarietyRonnie ScheibWithout fully fleshed-out generic or social contexts, left-wing documentarian Philippe Diaz's preachy mix of graphic free love and polemical diatribe fails to mesh as fiction, though it does make for superior porn.
- 40Los Angeles TimesGary GoldsteinLos Angeles TimesGary GoldsteinThe clumsily shot and scripted Now & Later is a hollow concoction of sex, politics and endless chatter that's just a few camera angles short of hard-core porn.
- 25New York PostV.A. MusettoNew York PostV.A. MusettoThe dialogue is banal and the acting, especially Wortham's, is unconvincing. Even the sex and nudity, of which there is a lot, grows tiresome after a while.
- 20Time OutDavid FearTime OutDavid FearEven if you ignore the bad acting, dogmatic dirty-talk dialogue so wooden it'd put a Redwood forest to shame and director Phillippe Diaz's total lack of visual sense, you'd still have to digest a junior-collegiate lecture with less savvy than a horny 14-year-old.
- 10Village VoiceVillage VoiceWorse, all of this sex is so garishly lit and unimaginatively framed that it's not even fun to watch.
