Our take

The feature debut from Swiss filmmaker Stina Werenfels, this vibrant, taboo-busting drama features a magnificent lead performance from newcomer Victoria Schulz. Provocatively charting the sexual awakening of a young, disabled woman, Dora is an emotionally-charged examination of personal liberties.
