Oasis Ratings & Reviews
Dallas Morning News
Philip Wuntch
A loving and lovely film.
One Guy's Opinion
Frank Swietek
Its honesty and avoidance of comfortable closure make it a refreshing change from the sort of phony uplift such stories ordinarily receive on the screen.
Chicago Sun-Times
Roger Ebert
A brave film in the way it shows two people who find any relationship almost impossible, and yet find a way to make theirs work.
Boston Globe
Wesley Morris
The actors' scenes together are simultaneously abrasive and oddly gentle: two untamable people trying to stabilize each other.
Reeling Reviews
Robin Clifford
Oasis is the kind of film that is a must for any serious film buff...and the adventurous movie-goer who isn't afraid of a little challenge.
Las Vegas CityLife
Matt Kelemen
There's always a danger when lead roles are disabled characters to make them too sympathetic. A deft touch is required, and Lee delivers.
Las Vegas Weekly
Josh Bell
A dark, off-putting film that offers spare insights but may not be worth the effort it takes to view it.
St. Paul Pioneer Press
Chris Hewitt
It sounds like a pervy after-school special, but Oasis features one of the year's most remarkable performances.
Orlando Weekly
Steve Schneider
A fascinating piece of work.
San Francisco Chronicle
G. Allen Johnson
Lee's humanitarian plea for tolerance is one of the most original films of the decade, and Moon provides the soul.
Boxoffice Magazine
Kim Williamson
A markedly different kind of movie.
Los Angeles CityBeat
Luke Y. Thompson
Both leads make the romance convincing, and Jong-Du even becomes sympathetic despite being almost insufferably thick-headed.
Los Angeles Times
Kevin Thomas
A love story of two young people marginalized by family and society that becomes a scorching indictment of the indifference, cruelty and hypocrisy of those institutions as the couple inevitably come into profound conflict with them.
L.A. Weekly
John Powers
This is a film that gives humanism back its good name.
Observer
Andrew Sarris
Take my word for it: Oasis is one of the most deeply felt love stories of the screen in ways that you must endure a little suffering of your own to appreciate.
Newark Star-Ledger
Lisa Rose
The lead performers have collected prizes at international festivals, and deservedly so. They play their roles with such courage and compassion that one sees the souls of the characters rather than their afflictions.
New York Post
V.A. Musetto
You'll have to look long and hard to find a performance as emotionally raw as that of Moon So-ri.
New York Times
Stephen Holden
This remarkable if overlong Korean film strips away much of the sentimentality and goody-two-shoes attitudes that the movies traditionally display toward disabled people.
Newsday
John Anderson
Strange and beautiful film about an ex-con and a disabled girl whose odd bond brings them briefly out of the dark.
Village Voice
Michael Atkinson
No movie in recent memory has translated so clearly the secret language of lovers normally lost on the rest of the world.
