On Body and Soul

"Enyedi’s film blends mournfully poetic whimsy with stabs of visceral brute reality (...) If these dueling registers neatly reflect the body and soul elements of the title, the contrast between them is more formally bracing than it is emotionally illuminating." 

"A bit stretched at nearly two hours, with a second act that could definitely be tightened up, the story nonetheless finds its way to a solid ending" 

"[It] turns a ridiculous premise into a surprisingly accessible love story" 

"In the hands of the Hungarian director Ildikó Enyedi it becomes something beguiling and troubling (...) A startlingly original romance with bursts of despair (…) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)" 

"Delicate psychological insight, a strong aesthetic signature and two affecting, restrained performances by Alexandra Borbély and Géza Morcsányi overcome any familiarity, as well as occasional hints of preciousness." 

"Its eroticism has something of the Czech author Milan Kundera (...) Endre and Maria’s affair is at its most romantic when it is at its most eccentric and weird (…) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)" 

"It’s a slow, quiet and beautifully composed story about human connection (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)" 

"[It] is beautifully played by its two leads and has a wonderfully barbed and unsettling quality that you will never find in any Hollywood romcom (…) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"
