Verdict: "On Body and Soul" is an Oscar-nominated Hungarian film that follows the romance between a disabled slaughterhouse worker and one of his colleagues, who happens to be an autistic woman. The romance was initiated when they discover that they were meeting in their dreams, giving the movie a supernatural vibe I didn't feel was needed for the picture to work. The relationship between the two characters amazingly portrayed by Geza Morcsanyi and especially Alexandra Borbely was so natural and organic that this out-of-this-world element felt like a weight on it, negatively affecting their connection and the ending of the movie, which in my opinion would've been much better had this element not interfered. The presentation of the film was good, but not amazing, and I didn't feel that the score added much to the overall quality of it. However, "On Body and Soul" is still a very touching story, elevated by two main performances that truly brought their respective characters to life, and I still recommend it to pretty much everyone. 

Final Grade: 7/10
