Tender performances and a strong sense of style combine to create an eccentric, dreamy portrait of love and loneliness in On Body and Soul.

The plot mechanism that links these ideas and images is, we'll just say, grossly misjudged. Feb 1, 2018 | Full Review…

It's a slow, quiet and beautifully composed story about human connection, or more specifically, the difficulty in finding it. Sep 26, 2017 | Rating: 3/5 | Full Review…

It's one for the quietly desperate - a grim fairytale that suggests it's possible to keep the wolf from the door. Sep 24, 2017 | Rating: 3/5 | Full Review…

It's a haunting film, with the blood, the dreams and the deer, but never wilfully obscure. Just slightly off kilter. Like life. Sep 22, 2017 | Rating: 4/5 | Full Review…

The premise of the film and its unwatchably brutal opening sequences are there to stun you, or in the butcher's sense tenderise you, so that you hardly notice the implausible weirdness of human behaviour in the workplace scenes that follow. Sep 21, 2017 | Rating: 4/5 | Full Review…

I'm filing it under Amelie in my fantasy rolodex of overrated and ultimately empty films. I choose to remember the delicious cheese sandwich I ate immediately after, instead. Jan 24, 2019 | Full Review…

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. Nov 6, 2018 | Full Review…

On Body And Soul becomes a deterministically romantic vision of love. Beautiful, but much like its snowy forest grove, ultimately empty. Oct 18, 2018 | Rating: 3/5 | Full Review…

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. Aug 26, 2018 | Rating: 4/4 | Full Review…

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. Aug 25, 2018 | Rating: 4/5 | Full Review…

Whether audiences will be impressed by the story's ambitious combination of subconscious thought and existentialism, and the pairing of beautiful dreams and brutal reality, is partly a matter of patience. May 11, 2018 | Full Review…

Luke Buckmaster
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.
