2017

Bau made her acting debut in the 2017 film Mektoub, My Love: Canto Uno.

While the film received mixed reviews Bau's performance was widely praised.

2019

She won the 2019 Lumières Award for Best Female Revelation for her role in the film and was nominated in the same category at the César awards.

Bau appeared in the 2019 sequel to Mektoub, Mektoub, My Love: Intermezzo.

Shortly before the film premiered at the Cannes Film Festival in 2019 news broke that the film featured an unsimulated sex scene between her and a co-star, which the two had been pressured into filming by the film's director Abdellatif Kechiche.

It was also revealed that Bau and her co-star had been intoxicated during the filming of the scene, also due to pressure from the director.

Bau attended the premiere of the film but walked out of the screening and did not attend a press conference for the film.

2020

In 2020 in an interview she revealed she walked away from the premiere because she had asked Kechiche to allow her to view the sex scene in private before it was screened in public, a request which he denied.
