Critic Reviews for If Not Now, When?

All Critics (17) | Top Critics (6) | Fresh (9) | Rotten (8)

  • This is a drama with a capital D... Every sistah I know is going to love this movie.

    Tim Cogshell

    FilmWeek (KPCC - NPR Los Angeles)

  • Bass' script is overly ambitious (perhaps because we're so starved for these kinds of stories), biting off more than one indie debut can, or should, chew.

    January 12, 2021 | Rating: 2.5/4 | Full Review…

    Katie Walsh

    Los Angeles Times

  • Between its amateurish direction, pedestrian cinematography, and overly plotted script, the narrative and visuals don't coalesce into a story that feels restorative, cathartic, or even joyful.

    January 11, 2021 | Rating: 1.5/4 | Full Review…

    Monica Castillo

    RogerEbert.com

  • The movie really comes to life only when the women are talking to each other, renewing their connections and providing the support that only friends for decades can give.

    January 8, 2021 | Rating: B- | Full Review…

    Nell Minow

    Movie Mom

  • Marriages fail, children rebel, recovery commences - but who cares what happens on such a flimsy foundation? The stories never reach resolution because the relationships were indistinct from the beginning.

    January 7, 2021 | Full Review…

    Teo Bugbee

    New York Times

  • It's not groundbreaking but, written by Bass, the movie serves as a fine reminder of the pleasures of a female-focused story with the stuff of adulthood at its core.
