An official selection of the Venice, Toronto and New York Film Festivals, Oki's Movie follows a young woman as she hikes Seoul's Mount Acha twice, a year apart, accompanied by different boyfriends: first a fellow student, then a professor. She documents the trips and then edits together corresponding locations on the mountain: the parking lot, a small pavilion, a wooden bridge; her juxtapositions are revelatory, both of her relationship with each and of the power of cinema. -- (C) Maysles Institute

Mr. Hong's casually brilliant feat of storytelling, akin to an ingeniously wrought suite of literary short fiction. Full Review

Michelle Orange, Village Voice

If the characterizations are fleeting, the recessive mood is not: Hong's signature observational style is at once offhanded and astute, romantic and lightly chilled. Full Review

Noel Murray, AV Club

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. Full Review

A curious oddity worthy of multiple viewings and lengthy contemplation, but its tricky formalism makes it less overtly satisfying on an emotional level. Full Review

Nick Schager, Slant Magazine

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

Oki's Movie's original and clever premise, charming execution and memorable performances come together beautifully to create a picture that's both captivating and emotional. Full Review

You'll find yourself wanting to immediately go back to the beginning and reassess every conversation, every gesture, every long-held grudge. Full Review
