The film is more of a mood piece than a purely narrative feature, one that prefers to focus on the nuances of being different. Go to Full Review Ben Turner The Pink Lens 09/02/2021
3/5
Anthropologically speaking Body Electric is an interesting piece of cinema, but for those who want to be told a story it doesn't quite deliver the goods. Go to Full Review Joe Lipsett Queer.Horror.Movies. 02/03/2019
... it's nice to spend time with these characters, share their exuberance for life and laugh at their antics. They may be the same as when we met them, but we're better off for spending time with them. Go to Full Review Alexander Ryll Gay Essential 11/03/2018

Forming a dreamlike film that flows organically and instinctively, Caetano does manage to create a truly unique ambience, overflown with serenity, love and voluptuousness. Go to Full Review Rich Cline Shadows on the Wall 05/08/2018

Garry A @heavyg Feb 4 I guess you could call it a character study. There is no plot and the movie meanders quite a bit, especially in the second half. It's really a two star movie but I added a half one because the sex scenes are hot. See more 01/27/2020 Beautiful light and color throughout, even in scenes shot in very dark rooms or outside. A story that seems mundane at first but with a strong political and societal opinion. See more 03/26/2018 Dreadful waste of time. No plot. Scenes with no purpose. Rambling, non-plot. What an appropriate platform to rate this movie as it is rotten See more Read all reviews
