As always with Hong's films, Oki's Movie goes through stretches where it seems aimless and self-indulgent, followed by stretches where it's sharp, funny, and poetic. Read full review

Viewed as a single experience, Oki's Movie is a curious oddity worthy of multiple viewings and lengthy contemplation, but its tricky formalism makes it less overtly satisfying on an emotional level. Read full review

Hong Sang-soo once again corroborates auteurist theory at the same time that he reveals the potential shortcomings of its practice. Read full review
