The Seattle TimesKatie WalshJul 24, 2025
Incisive, insightful and very funny. Read full review

IndieWireKate ErblandJul 23, 2025
The devil is in the details, and the details? Well, they’re in the kind of patchwork-guessing and random sign-seeing that so many are forced to endure as they embark on the horrors of modern dating. Brooks just takes them in some delightfully daffy (and occasionally deeply scary) new directions. Read full review

Arizona RepublicDina KaurJul 23, 2025
Rarely do you find a Gen Z movie that doesn’t make the group seem so insufferable. This film shows the struggle of modern dating during this time, at this age. Read full review

RogerEbert.comZachary LeeJul 25, 2025
It’s a deeply human experience to long for someone who’s unavailable and to treasure a love that’s true but can’t last. “Oh, Hi!” ruminates on this to somber yet entertaining effect. Read full review

Washington PostTy BurrJul 24, 2025
A suspense comedy as breezy and noncommittal as its title, this sophomore feature from writer-director Sophie Brooks is a deceptively low-fi affair, but it keeps a cheeky premise going for longer than it has any right to. Read full review

Original-CinLiz BraunJul 24, 2025
All the intricacies — and absurdities — of creating a modern relationship are on display in Oh, Hi!, a clever comedy with Molly Gordon and Logan Lerman as a couple getting to know each other better. Read full review

The Associated PressLindsey BahrJul 23, 2025
It’s a kind of over-the-top, “Misery”-styled meditation on entrenched gender cliches in heterosexual dating. Read full review

San Francisco ChronicleMick LaSalleJul 21, 2025
Oh, Hi! is that rare case, a movie that’s engaging and interesting moment by moment, but everything else is wrong with it. Read full review

The PlaylistMarshall ShafferJan 31, 2025
While this send-up might not pass the scrutiny for a rewatch or cult classic, it’s at least good for one fun and unexpected go-round. Read full review

The Globe and Mail (Toronto)Anne T. DonahueJul 25, 2025
Directed by Sophie Brooks and co-written by Gordon, it subverts both the rom-com and horror genres to produce an original story that thwarts predictability. Read full review

Screen RantRachel LaBonteJul 23, 2025
Gordon and Lerman are both in great form, going a long way in carrying the somewhat problematic premise. Read full review

ColliderRoss BonaimeJan 31, 2025
Brooks’ film could’ve come off as extremely silly, but instead, by balancing the tone in just the right ways, it all comes together beautifully. Read full review

The Hollywood ReporterJourdain SearlesJan 31, 2025
Despite its narrative issues, there’s a lot to like about Oh, Hi! With its playful writing and game cast, the film is sure to attract young fans and find its audience. At its root, this is a surprisingly sensitive commentary on uniquely millennial romantic loneliness. Read full review

Paste MagazineJesse HassengerJun 17, 2025
The opening of the movie has some perfectly timed visually-delivered laughs, like an early car scene involving an accidental failure to reverse, and the bottle-episode staginess of later scenes limits the visual invention. Still, by this point you’ve boarded the ride, and Oh, Hi! keeps you captive in a way that Iris only dreams of: by sheer force of Gordon’s personality. Read full review

Austin ChronicleKimberley JonesJul 24, 2025
There are worse accusations to hurl at a filmmaker than that she has too much empathy for her characters, but in the case of Oh, Hi!, it stymies the potential in its provocative premise and holds a pretty good movie back from greatness. Read full review

Los Angeles TimesAmy NicholsonJul 25, 2025
Brooks can merely offer this flawed pair more kindness than they grant each other (or themselves). Which makes “Oh, Hi!” a pleasant if perilous date night film. Having spent an enjoyable evening with it myself, I have to admit: I like the movie fine, but I’m not in love. Read full review

The New York TimesAlissa WilkinsonJul 24, 2025
To the degree it works — and it does, a lot of the time — it’s a testament to its performers, especially Gordon and, once she arrives on the scene, Viswanathan, both of whom bring an energy to the screen that always has a touch of mischief, like they could veer off into lunacy or ecstasy at any time.

The A.V. ClubTim GriersonJul 23, 2025
Oh, Hi! is an ambitious, thought-provoking look at modern romance that starts with the terror of weekend getaways before dissecting the gender stereotypes that keep people from finding their happily-ever-after. Read full review

ReelViewsJames BerardinelliJul 25, 2025
There's enough in the film to assemble an intriguing two-minute trailer. Unfortunately, the movie has an additional 92 minutes to fill and that's not something it's able to do with much success. The problems with Oh, Hi! relate not to its conception but its execution. Read full review

Movie NationRoger MooreJul 25, 2025
A rom-com that almost goes for it and almost comes off before losing its nerve. Read full review

Rolling StoneDavid FearJul 24, 2025
No one would consider Oh, Hi! a failure. But you’ll be tempted to say byyyyyeeeeee more than once before this couple’s final bow. Read full review

Slant MagazineRocco T. ThompsonJul 20, 2025
After its opening act, the film gets silly fast, with a frankly stupid witchcraft subplot and narrative turns that are telegraphed with audience-insulting obviousness. Read full review

What begins as a fun weekend loses its appeal; unfortunately the film follows suit. Read full review

VarietyTomris LafflyJan 31, 2025
Gordon and Lerman are two committed performers with excellent chemistry and comic timing during these scenes, and much of Gordon’s physical work as the crazy soon-to-be-ex-girlfriend is genuinely impressive and funny. But the seams of Brooks’ writing show often, becoming impossible to ignore. Read full review

The GuardianBenjamin LeeJan 31, 2025
While the film does happen upon a real, and painful, truth of the problems that come from dating without a label, as things start to devolve, it becomes harder to understand how they ever found themselves here. Read full review

Boston GlobeOdie HendersonJul 24, 2025
As it adds extraneous characters, “Oh, Hi!” becomes so frustrating and unbelievable that I wanted to yell advice at the screen. Read full review
