Alas, this tale of a young rape victim further brutalized by officialdom never lives up to its potential. Apr 3, 2018 | Rating: 2/4 | Full Review…

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. Mar 22, 2018 | Full Review…
