Critic Reviews

An unforgettable experience from yet another filmmaker who is making South Korean cinema one of the most vibrant of any emerging on the international scene.Full Review

Kevin Thomas
Los Angeles Times

At once a romantic melodrama, a sharp social comedy and a fierce political commentary on Korean society's cruelty to social outcasts. It's also a triumph of artistic indirection: Not a single scene plays out the way you expect. This is a film that gives humanism back its good name.Full Review

John Powers
L.A. Weekly

Oasis is that rare miraculous whirlwind romance that moves from attempted rape to reverence without kicking up a lot of dust.Full Review

Wesley Morris
Boston Globe

Director Lee Chang-Dong has boldly crafted a challenge rarely found on film. But if you choose to meet it, you'll be rewarded with one of the most original, indelible romances in recent memory.Full Review

Elizabeth Weitzman
New York Daily News

An eloquent expression of both unorthodox romance and bitter disillusionment with the hypocritical institutions of family and society.Full Review
