If It's Not Now, Then When? ialah sebuah drama keluarga dalam Bahasa Mandarin yang dibintangi oleh Pearlly Chua, Tan Bee Hung dan Kenny Gan. Filem ini diterbitkan oleh syarikat Da Huang Pictures dan mendapat sokongan dana dari Krishen Jit Astro Fund (Malaysia) dan Hubert Bals Fund (Belanda).
Sinopsis dalam Bahasa Inggeris :
If It’s Not Now, Then When? mostly takes place in an apartment inhabited by three members of a family (though never at the same time): mother Pearlly Chua (from Tsai Ming-liang’s I Don’t Want to Sleep Alone), daughter Tan Bee Hung and young son Kenny Gan. Their father seems recently to have died. The mother leaves early and returns late, out on long walks in the park with a lover whom the daughter and her best friend try to spy on. The daughter pecks away at a computer at work and has a desultory affair with her married boss, which he carries on between his business and family phone calls. And the son breaks into cars and “recycles” the electronics he finds.
Lee’s characters are superb at indicating, despite their placid, seemingly calm exteriors, that tension inflected with despair lurks just underneath. With precise control, Lee circulates the three characters through ever-overlapping spaces, as they seek ways to connect with each other. When the final eruption occurs, it is all the more fierce, disturbing, despairing—and quite possibly (even controversially) somehow satisfying.
If It's Not Now, Then When? akan ditayang secara kecil-kecilan di Malaysia pada 1-3 November serentak dengan tiga filem pendek terbaru oleh pengarah prolifik ini.
