Second, I heard a lot about this movie, that recently it was nominated to represent Tunisia in Oscar's pre-selection nominees..

Few films leave an imprint quite like Beauty and the Dogs (2017)-a harrowing experience that lingers long after the final frame. Each scene unfolds in a single, uninterrupted take, a masterful choice by director Kaouther Ben Hania that amplifies the suffocating tension. The result is a visceral, almost unbearable realism.

The film forces a chilling question: what happens when those sworn to protect become predators? It's a terrifying thought, made even more haunting by the grim reality behind the story. When the credits rolled, the true horror revealed itself-this wasn't just fiction. It was drawn from real events. And that realization is its most gut-wrenching blow.

First, I gotta say this is my first review ever.

Second, I heard a lot about this movie, that recently it was nominated to represent Tunisia in Oscar's pre-selection nominees.. So, I kinda expected too much, but I also expected some kind of disappointment (My country's filmmaking industry is so bad.. Like really really bad). I was surprised though. The directing made a huge difference, focusing on little details that are extremely important yet usually ignored. (Like That scene when they were heading back after the legal physical check). The acting also, especially by Youssef and the majority of the cops, was surprisingly remarkable. Another remarkable point, how the director wass successful in: 1 Bringing clear the circumstances of the rape case without showing the scene. 2 Not using a violent language, something others would think necessary regarding the context of the movie. These two points are considered "a big deal" in such a religious country.

Third, despite all the appreciation for Mariem's acting, I don't think she did a great job, because playing as a leading role, you got to do much more, especially the non-verbal acting, she kinda made some awkward scenes.

In total, I was satisfied, I highly recommend it if you're not Tunisian.

To see that cops are the same the world over. Powerful but depressing :(

A young woman is raped by two cops. She wants justice. The result - a terrible night in which cynismus, corruption, buraucracy, cowardies, lies, revenge, noble gestures of an old man, are mixed. A beautiful film for precise verdict about near reality. Powerful, cold, for me , reminding the atmosphere of Romanians films after 1990 year. Short, a film about fears. And about justice, more as noble intention. Admirable the work of Mariam Al Ferjani.
