On Body and Soul (18)

Drama

An unusual love story set in the everyday world, based around the duality of sleeping and waking, mind and matter.

The critical consensus

It's a curious set-up and, despite her poetic sensibility, Enyedi will undoubtedly frustrate some with her open-ended and oblique storytelling.

***(*)(*)James Mottram, The List, 18/09/2017

Mad, singular and heart-stirring in a way that’s hard to comprehend.

****(*)David Jenkins, Little White Lies, 19/09/2017

Beautifully played by its two leads and has a wonderfully barbed and unsettling quality that you will never find in any Hollywood romcom.

****(*)Geoffrey Macnab, The Independent, 21/09/2017

In this strange, unsettling romance, a Hungarian abattoir provides the backdrop for an affair between two workers that exists only when they sleep.

****(*)Peter Bradshaw, The Guardian, 21/09/2017

An offbeat romance that also contains some graphic scenes of animal slaughter.

***(*)(*)Allan Hunter, Daily Express, 22/09/2017

A Hungarian love story set in an abattoir uses startling juxtapositions to beguiling effect.

****(*)Wendy Ide, The Observer, 24/09/2017
