All Critics (69) | Top Critics (5) | Fresh (62) | Rotten (7)
The plot mechanism that links these ideas and images is, we'll just say, grossly misjudged.
It's a slow, quiet and beautifully composed story about human connection, or more specifically, the difficulty in finding it.
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.
A rich and strange tale of thwarted sexuality that takes a tad too long to get to the point.
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.
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.
Audience Reviews for On Body and Soul (A Teströl és Lélekröl)
With an exquisite direction, impeccable performances and an absolutely wonderful screenplay, this profoundly sensitive and unconventional love story uses a lot of humor to depict in a most irresistible way the discovery of love by two lonely, introspective people.
