Garfield's bullish performance saves the movie from its stagy moments and episodic script.

Body and Soul is a film not simply with gritty boxing scenes but also a fascinating character analysis indicative of the human condition.

Film Inquiry
Rating: 4/5 --
Altogether this Enterprise picture rolls up a round-by-round triumph on points until it comes through with a climactic knockout that hits the all-time high in throat-catching fight films.

TV Guide
If the movie works today, it's probably because of Abraham Polonsky's beautiful screenplay, a rich desert plate filled with glorious, lowdown street and sports prose.
