Shot in wintry black-and-white, Hotel by the River folds Hong's usual concerns into a structure that's more complex than usual.

NPR
Rating: 4/5 --
Beautifully shot in melancholic black and white, the film posts most existential questions without focusing too much on the passage of time.

High on Films
The performance of Ki is appropriately stoic, while Kwon and Yu impress in roles that suggest both how different they are as siblings and how they find themselves in the same boat with their father as he's waiting to cross the Styx.
Hollywood Reporter
Builds from a series of slight vignettes into a moving story of an ageing poet trying to take stock of his life in what may be his waning days.

Rating: B+ --
But here, one also finds everything that is worth cherishing about this filmmaker's evolving, self-recycling, self-referential oeuvre.

AV Club
The pleasure is in the particularities of each delivery in that game variations on the narcissism, solitude and love and the loss that composes the filmography of Hong Sangsoo. [Full Review in Spanish]

HOTEL BY THE RIVER has its share of amusingly meandering banter...

Amidst all the tension, he sees two women out in the snow and he finds himself drawn to them wanting to find out their story. Written and directed by Sang-soo Hong.
