The result is an unapologetically feminist and furiously single-minded movie....The filmmaking is so striking -- and Ms. Al Ferjani so movingly, indefatigably resolute -- it’s impossible not to persevere right along with her.
New York Times
It's hard to tell how much director Kaouther Ben Hania, who also wrote the script, slowed down the action to pander to an international audience. This over-explaining almost swallows the film's considerable technical achievements, too.

Critic's Notebook
Rating: 2/4 --
Alas, this tale of a young rape victim further brutalized by officialdom never lives up to its potential.

Ozus' World Movie Reviews
Beauty and the Dogs is a sterling achievement from filmmaker Kaouther Ben Hania that features an important, uncompromising vision of a real patriarchal and legally corrupt society.

Film Inquiry
As Mariam careens between hospitals and police stations, facing bureaucratic indifference and misogyny, the movie's fever pitch begins to feel at odds with its artistry.

Los Angeles Times
A crescendo of humiliation, anxiety and abuse, "Beauty and the Dogs" plays like a horror movie where every choice is a Catch-22 and every door a trap.

Product Description:
After a party, a young Tunisian woman named Mariam (Mariam Al Ferjani) is raped by the local police. Accompanied by Youssef (Ghanem Zrelli), a man she met earlier that night, she stands up for herself by going to the hospital and then the police station to report the crime perpetrated by their fellow officers. BEAUTY AND THE DOGS was directed by Kaouther Ben Hania, and adapted from a memoir by Meriem Ben Mohamed.
