On Body and Soul Reviews
The Playlist
Jessica Kiang
"On Body and Soul" imagines an unlikely scenario, yet one that possibly occurs to many people who fall madly and completely in love, that somehow they have beaten those astronomical odds and found their other half.
812filmreviews
Robert Daniels
On Body and Soul is the power of dreams manifested, mixed with crushing reality of languid love, an emotion with as many mixed signals as the fantasies they're meant to evoke.
indieWire
Eric Kohn
Morcsányi endows his character with the sad, lived-in expression of a man resigned to his drab routine, but it's breakout talent Borbély who truly emerges as the movie's star.
Slant Magazine
Chuck Bowen
On Body and Soul's fusion of romance, comedy, ultraviolence, and political commentary has the logic of a lucid dream.
Hyperallergic
Ela Bittencourt
There is a real tinge of sadness to On Body and Soul, which serves as a quaint allegory on dating in the age of Tinder: a hint that visiting mysterious strangers in our dreams is at times as close we get to intimacy.
NPR
Andrew Lapin
The plot mechanism that links these ideas and images is, we'll just say, grossly misjudged.
Slant Magazine
Derek Smith
As the film proceeds, Ildikó Enyedi incessantly explicates the subtext of the characters' developing connection.
The Young Folks
Leonel Manzanares
Ultimately, we never forget that these are still two severely flawed human beings, and we can see their shortcomings bite back.
Variety
Guy Lodge
A determinedly eccentric but intermittently startling misfit romance that marks a singular return to feature filmmaking for Hungarian writer-director Ildikó Enyedi after an 18-year gap.
Hollywood Reporter
Jordan Mintzer
A rich and strange tale of thwarted sexuality that takes a tad too long to get to the point.
Alternate Ending
Tim Brayton
The barnburner of an opening leads straight to an equally audacious plot hook.
Film Threat
Filipe Freitas
Don't let the sluggish pace discourage you, and enjoy both the dark humor and the uncanny vibes of a tortuous Hungarian romance.
FF2 Media
Amelie Lasker
Partially shot in a real slaughterhouse, the film is visually and conceptually both beautiful and viscerally sickening, a fascinating exploration of loneliness and attention in an unusual environment.
Cinema Signals
Jules Brenner
A bit long in the telling, or may just feel that way, but very involving for romantics and arthouse types despite or because of its air of restraint, emptiness and hope--not to say, loving originality.
Metro
Gregory Wakeman
Ultimately, On Body And Soul is too aloof and tentative with its message to really resonate, but it is still nevertheless an increasingly compelling and idiosyncratic love story that gets better with each passing minute.
Hammer to Nail
Christopher Llewellyn Reed
Director Ildikó Enyedi ... may not be the most prolific of cineastes, but this has not stopped her from making, here, a work of great originality and moving drama.
Film Inquiry
Emily Wheeler
Ildikó Enyedi has made a film worthy of its widespread praise, and she did it with an assured, distinctive hand. It may not be for everyone, but for the adventurous viewer, it's a must-see.
The Daily Dot
Chris Osterndorf
You're left with the realization that despite its philosophical intrigue, On Body and Soul remains a flawed film.
Movie Nation
Roger Moore
Touching and cryptic souls-connecting romantic drama that gives you a lot to chew on...just not over burgers or steaks.
Decider
Joe Reid
What director Ildiko Enyedi does rather beautifully is take the mundane day-to-day that these characters are living and depict it so precisely that the imprecise nature of dream connections and love feel all the more ephemeral.
