On Body and Soul

Graphic depiction of a woman's attempted suicide by slicing her wrist in the bathtub with a piece of broken glass, extremely bloody. Characters work in a slaughterhouse -- a close-up scene of a cow in a factory farm getting killed, followed by its bones being broken off, its head decapitated, and its body being drained of blood while stuck on meat hooks.

Lead female character watches pornographic movie -- sounds of sex heard throughout the scene, along with a few seconds of a penis penetrating a vagina. Two characters have sex in bed -- no nudity, but movements shown and sounds heard. Brief nonsexual nudity: female breasts, buttocks. A male character tells another male character, in reference to a new female employee, "I'd bang her." During a psychiatric evaluation, the evaluator asks the male lead what age he was when he first ejaculated; at the beginning of the scene, he's caught staring at the evaluator's breasts.

Occasional profanity: "f--k," "t-ts," "ass," "damn," "hell."

Cigarette smoking. A character invites another character out for a beer.

Parents need to know that On Body and Soul is a 2017 Hungarian drama in which two introverted characters find each other by experiencing the same dream. It was nominated for Best Foreign Language Film for 2018. The movie is in Hungarian with English subtitles. Those who are squeamish at the sight of blood or sensitive to the graphic portrayal of suicide should know that one of the lead characters attempts suicide by cutting her wrist with a jagged piece of glass; the attempt is graphically shown, with spurting and gushing blood. This movie is also set primarily in a slaughterhouse. In an extended scene, a cow gets killed. After it dies, its bones and joints are shown getting broken and pulled off by a machine, its head decapitated, and its body hanging on meat hooks and drained of blood. The lead female character, who exhibits behavior on the autistic spectrum, tries to figure out the details of sexual intercourse by observing a pornographic movie; moans of pleasure are heard throughout the scene, and the pornographic movie itself is briefly shown, with a close-up of a penis penetrating a vagina. In another scene, two characters have sex -- no nudity, but the sounds and body positions (and the scene immediately after) leave no doubt as to what's happening. During a psychiatric evaluation, the male lead character is caught staring at the breasts of the evaluator; during the survey, she asks him how old he was when he first ejaculated. The movie also features brief, nonsexual female nudity (breasts, buttocks), as well as cigarette smoking.
