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.

Oki is a young film student caught between the affections of two men. One is an older and sullen film professor, and the other is a former student and currently struggling director with a penchant for alcohol. The narrative is told in chapters, each one shifting perspectives and timelines.

What are critics saying?
Forget the snark about him ransacking Eric Rohmer's bag of tricks; the gentle ironies and droll, bitter wit here prove Hong is the French New Waver's heir apparent.
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.
Slant Magazine by Nick Schager
Hong Sang-soo once again corroborates auteurist theory at the same time that he reveals the potential shortcomings of its practice.
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.
