Body and Soul Ratings & Reviews

"Body and Soul" is not a small cinematic gem; it is a magnificent diamond.
Baltimore Afro-American
Maybelle Chew
Body and Soul is a picture of great emotional appeal, indeed... The picture was well acted, especially the part of the minister, which was played by Paul Robeson.
Film Snobbery
Phil Hall
Body and Soul has neither body nor soul.
Chicago Reader
Jonathan Rosenbaum
One of the revelations of this 1924 feature by pioneer black filmmaker Oscar Micheaux is that, in contrast to the faltering technique and garbled film syntax of his sound pictures, he was stylistically assured as a silent director.
New York Times
Stephen Holden
Robeson radiates the roguish charm and dangerous looming ferocity of a master con man with a scary streak of violence. Like his singing, Robeson's acting has stature. It is larger than life.
