On Body and Soul's reviews
Media reviews
Screen Daily
"Ildikó Enyedi?s striking, emotional drama explores the power of human connection in the unlikeliest of places"
The Guardian
"Its a love story that unfolds both in a secret inner dreamscape and an outer world of ostensible normality - which is actually far more comically irrational. This duality could be the one hinted at in the title. But which is body and which soul? Where do we assume the spirituality and physicality are located?"
Indiewire
"'On Body and Soul' owes much to the credibility of its performances. 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. In her subdued, awkward manner, she creates a wondrous silent figure who closes herself off from the world around her."
Fotogramas
"The film treats with tenderness love related question how the way of reconcile with the world."
Variety
"Is it possible to politely remain solitary strangers in real life while at night turning into (with apologies to Bobby Darin) dream lovers, so they don?t have to dream alone?"
The Hollywood Reporter
"The title On Body and Soul encapsulates what Enyedi seems to be getting at, [...]: how the disparity between body and soul can hurt us (or kill them - would we eat animals so easily if we believed they had souls?), and how their fusion can make us whole again."
