A smashing review from the good people at DVD Talk. "This movie simply works, ticking along precisely and artfully, with a trio of ready-for-the-main-stage performances and enough twists to make you really wonder if you'll end up where you're expecting to... [Lead Actress Leslie] Kendall herself is dangerously cute... her performance is as finely tuned as everything else in the movie... you pretty much know you've stumbled onto something special. Writer/director Kerry Douglas Dye and director Jordan Hoffman have captured a little straight-to-DVD lightning in a bottle."

The verdict is in: "A nice change from the run-of-the-mill, Steve Carell-type comedies. Although the budget was probably peanuts, the filmmakers used the tools they had to create a unique film by focusing on interesting characters and creepy, dark humor. Twists in the film set it even further apart, almost making the film hard to categorize... Adding this to your list of films to see will most assuredly provide something unexpected."

This short review from the Calgary International Film Festival is a very nice one that credits the "lead actors' textured performances" and calls it "one of the surprise gems of this year's festival".

A nice review and interesting thematic analysis that opens with "Body/Antibody will make you think about dichotomies in life, lose faith in love, and then make you re-think it all again." Over the course of the review, the critic also mentions our "exquisite cast" and credits us with having "more delicious twists than a Tastee-Freez cone".

This review from Hungarian culture magazine Kultura.hu is titled "Classic Threesome in a Classic Six" and credits the film with "doing a great job of toying with the expectations of the viewer." It's "a spectacular and well-made movie," filled with "plenty of irony and great skill."

Very nice feature article from Elizabeth Chorney-Booth in FFWD. It opens: "A visually stunning low-budget movie is a rare find. A visually stunning low-budget movie with a compelling plot and terrific acting can be as difficult to come by as true love, or, say, a spacious rent-controlled apartment in uptown Manhattan."

This online magazine hails the movie as "an entertaining, smart and funny black comedy", and reports on co-director Kerry Douglas Dye's appearance at the festival: "Kerry Douglas Dye appeared at the screening and was very funny; with his perpetual motion and expressive arm gestures he totally came across totally as a T.V. evangelist ... it is the combination of director and movie together that will provide a lasting great impression at the open screening on Friday."

SEE gives Body/Antibody three and a half stars and credits its "refreshingly understated" performances and says the work of the directors "promises more good things to come".
