Our take
A recent Oscar®-nominee, Tunisia’s Kaouther Ben Hania first proved her gift for candid storytelling with this gripping drama based on real events. Split into nine single-take segments, and starring newcomer Mariam Al Ferjani, Beauty and the Dogs is an engrossing study in modern-day masculinity.
