Synopsis
In the new Miguel Arteta movie, Salma Hayek is Beatriz, a mexican holistic medicine practitioner who lives in California. When she drives to the house of one of her client in a rich side of the city, she ends up receiving an invitation to attend a wealthy clien'ts dinner meeting. When the conversation starts to get more and more offensive to her because of her hispanic origins, she starts a war of words with Doug, one of the moguls in the meeting, who cares more about money than people.

- 8.0 The GuardianBenjamin Lee
A standout turn from the often under-utilized actor is one of the many joys of this carefully choreographed dinner party satire that acts as a cutting allegory of Trump?s America
Read - 7.5 Rolling StonePeter Travers
The funny, touching and vital 'Beatriz at Dinner' probably tackles way more than it can handle, but so what? Godspeed. You won't know what hit you.
Read - 5.0 The Hollywood ReporterLeslie Felperin
