I think this movie has some sort of message, but that gets skewed by the twerking 11 year olds, the cringy dances in general, and a whole lot of other stuff. I think that showing the disparity between the two worlds of religious conservatism and modern individualism, especially with the wide availability of smartphones, is an interesting concept, but it's just terribly executed here. Besides the controversy of sexualising children, I was confused by the movie's pacing. A clearer divide between the two worlds would've been nice to show. Also the characters act completely irrational for their personalities, Amy, the protagonist, almost kills another girl. Jesus Christ.
I know I'm going on dangerous turf by giving this movie more than a 0, but it had some alright tones here and there, but everything else is either boring or absolutely terrible.… Expand

But I believe you have to watch it in order to pass a judgement.

It's almost unbearable for the first 30 mins, and it will be even more shocking when the little girls in this movie started doing twerking and some overly provocative dance moves.

More often than not I don't feel sympathise with the characters in this movie, although I believe this kind of life exists somewhere in our world.

The girls acting more like a thug than a 7th grader, although in real life the casts are around 14-15 years old, but the character they portraited are a bunch of 11 years old, who's acted not like they're supposed to be.

I quite like the ending where the main character decided to ditched everything, and be like a normal kid again, it's quite a surprise since she's also not a lovable character that you will like, or relate to.

It's hard to enjoy this movie, especially if you have a young daughter, there are so many jaw opener scenes, cringe worthy moment, but if you can make it to the end than you are more than qualified to rate this movie, not just based on the trailer and everything.
(I'm not saying to despise those things, those things are what makes this movie so wrong on so many levels still)

If I can withdraw a positive aspect from this movie or the message they're trying to convey, is to always monitor your kids, do not do whatever the parents in this movie do, and if that's the message this movie trying to deliver, I believed they've done it well.… Expand

Its not just because of the half naked 11 year old girls doing inappropriate dances, its so boring, and the ending makes no **** sense. Its just a weird movie, that tries to touch upon an issue, and fails miserably. The only message I saw in this movie, was how much islam mistreats women. Since the husband marries another wife. And he doesn't care about how his daughter feels at all. The aunt just also acts like its normal, and acts like its a women's duty to support her husband, even if he is cheating on you. This movie is terrible, I reccomend you watch something else like The Pursuit of Happyness. Now that is an uplifting movie with a good message, this is just a movie that tries to be dark, and trys to show how we overly sexualize girls. Well newsflash what did you guys do in this movie, exactly that. Im giving it a three since the actors were good Amy was great, I really believed her performance.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I get the director’s intention of wanting to bring awareness to the issue regarding young girls sexualising themselves due to being influenced by social media. The movie itself...doesn’t show that.

The movie itself made its original intent blurry. Is it trying to bring awareness to the issue by exposing the harsh truths or is it just a movie that relies on shock value to simply make audiences barf? The resolution itself is also unclear. The ending is just Amy reverting back to a normal girl and playing jump rope with other kids. But the other loose threads like what happened to the rest of the dance crew or if Amy ends up facing harsher consequences for her more questionable actions like posting a picture of her privates online or pushing Yasmine into a lake (thankfully not drowning).

The film itself is the example of presenting the problem (the sexualisation of young girls) and not giving a proper resolution for it.

And let’s not get into the rather questionable ethics of casting child actresses to do horrendous things like dancing sensually. Thank goodness nothing else bad happened (aside from, y’know, what they just did). Now I get that the movie is trying to expose brutal honesty, but for all their talk on how bad this is, the camera shots and angles glamourises it. It’s like trying to kill actual people just to say “murder is bad” or actually raping the actor/actress just to say “rape is bad”.

The only redeeming qualities are at least we know that we should be more aware of what children browse on social media, how sexualising oneself won’t give you actual freedom and to never let your children star in movies where they will be sexualised.

I would at least wish that the director can learn from her mistakes and hopefully not repeat it if she wants to make another movie. She may have created Cuties, but we al know she meant no actual malice (unlike the Sundance co-founder, who is much, MUCH worse).… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I am trying to be as objective as possible. First, there are no actual nude scenes, and the dancing although provocative in nature isn't all that risqué....well for an 18 year old....for an 11 year old, it's horrendous.

This movie is not about or for a young girl to grow through a shared experience with the protagonist. This movie is aimed at inattentive parents as it can lead to terrible lashing out and confusion for the young and growing children.

ALL THAT ASIDE. The dialogue is terrible, the acting is quite bad, the plot is ridiculous, and the story doesn't really lend itself a resolution and is just bad all over the place. This isn't a thought provoking movie, its needless and unnecessary on every level. I really don't understand why this was even allowed to air to be honest, but the sheer backlash from many is totally justifiable given that NONE of the provocative nature was ever needed to tell the story....just go watch thirteen instead of this crap if you're looking for a story and conversations.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I felt disgusted watching this movie. One of the most disturbing movies I’ve watched ever. This movie is literal borderline pedophilic. There are scenes in the movie where they PURPOSEFULLY ZOOMED INTO THE REAR ENDS OF THE 11 YEAR OLD ACTRESSES TWERKING. There is even one scene where one of the actresses pulls her pants and undergarment down and takes a photo of her genitalia. WHAT. THE. **** The director of the movie is purposefully sexualizing these 11 year old actresses for her point of the movie, or rather the protagonist is to “rebel against her conservative family’s traditions”. I’m worried of the actresses being sexually abused during the filming of this movie, the mental trauma they probably have due to the movie. This is filthy and disgusting.

Some people really liked the move saying it’s a cute coming of age story, and others criticize the alleged sexualization of 11 year olds. So, I wanted to see for myself.

Ultimately, I would not recommend this movie. It is extremely sickening the way the 11 year olds are sexualized. Some people are saying that the point of the movie was to expose the way the west sexualizes the young, but to me that was the most sexualized movie of children I have ever seen. I gave the movie a 1 because I did think the story was good. I only wish the children where not sexualized in their dress and dance. I felt it was extremely uncomfortable and unnecessary to get the point across. Although, maybe that’s the difference between American culture and French culture. If you’re really curious, watch the movie for yourself to decide. I did from start to finish.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This review is for the people who heard all the terrible things about this movie and are checking reviews to see if it's worth all the hate.

TLDR: The beginning shows promise of a meh social commentary but ultimately is destroyed by the ending and the over sexualization of children (read full review for explanation on why). Overall I wish I could get the time back and do something like watch grass grow.

Spoilers ahead.

The beginning we get to meet Any. She has some clear inner turmoil. She goes to church with her Muslim mother and family. We see the struggles of being an immigrant, and although it doesn't portray it very well it at least puts it in an understanding way. On the way back you meet this 11-year old wearing something you'd see in a cardi-B music video, dancing to pop music. This is the part where the movie starts to go downhill. This "Cuties" dance group storyline starts all while the Muslim storyline is going on as well. Although the storylines are juxtaposed of the different cultures at the beginning, towards the end it gets really confusing and incorhorent. Because of said confusion I'll focus on the theme of this movie. It is about ways adults impact children. Amy watches a cardi-B video and starts giving a laser tag employee a lap dance....ya that happens and for not good reason. I'm going to stop talking about the plot because it pretty much becomes derailed at this point and gets pretty disgusting. I would say about 50 minutes into the movie is where you would want to stop. My reasons for why i think this movie sexualizes and exploits children. You can show how 11- year olds can be influenced by adults in many different ways. The most important part is how this movie was filmed. Instead of filming reactions or at least wide shots focused on their faces they elect to focus on private parts of 11-year olds and the south end as well. The last 10 minutes of this movie is something Jeffery Epstein probably had on his phone. Not bad enough to get you thrown into jail but enough where you understand there's a problem. My point is that they did not film it to be a social commentary about how adults impact children in ways we don't always mean, instead it turns into children erotica . Honestly you take out Amy trying to commit murder for plot convenience, all the close up shots of children, and the multiple storylines. You have something that would help pass the time...but I would spend my time doing something else.

Overall this movie is like if Spider man 3 and Jeffery Epstein had a baby. To many storylines too much to follow and too much sexualization of children… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Amy comes from a somewhat strict muslim family. She finds friends in a couple of girls, which strave to participate in a dance competition. So far, the general outline seems promesing: A hot topic in society and a 11 year old black girl.
Unfortunetly from there, the movie goes in a strange direction. While we get closer to Amy and begin to build up empathy and interest, the movie starts to throw questionable sexual depictions on the viewer. Displaying the girls in short dresses and doing adult stuff, like taking pictures of genitals, sexting, twerking, the story starts to loose its seriousness and crumbles. We have a failed lead character, who betrayed her friends just to present herself on stage. We have a mother, who respects her daughters decisions in the end. And we have a lot of weird stuff in between, which makes you want to report yourself to the authorities.
The Islam critic, and the attempt to distance oneself from the parents during puberty it the only notable, not disturbing, thing I found in this movie.

I really don't know, how anyone can thumb up this movie. This some displaying of underage girls which should be prosecuted. I don't, in any way, support what's going on here. Netflix should take a step back and in that turn, take the movie down.
If you think I may be overreacting. Watch for yourself. But be warned, if you don't want to feel criminal and guilty.… Expand

That may be true, but you defeat your purpose when you do the exact thing you claim to be against just to prove the point. It would be like beating the hell out of your wife to show others that spousal abuse is wrong. Cuties sexualizes children to an extreme degree to supposedly condemn the sexualization of children. The film is quite literally softcore child pornography, complete with instances of actual child nudity, being promoted by one of the biggest entertainment platforms in existence. This movie is indefensible to anyone who isn't a complete degenerate or a pedophile themselves.

when all the negative reviews point out that the movie is filled with close-up shots of the kids' asses while they are twerking, i do not think i need to see the movie to know that it is that horrible. i am not going to watch this movie, for i have no desire to be put on some FBI watchlist.

apparently the peabrained defenders of this film say that the director is showing softcore child porn to show that pedophilia is bad. but since i refuse to believe that the director is that goddamn stupid, i'm going to assume that he is indeed a pedophile himself.

f*** every adult who allowed this movie to even exist. i wish hell existed so you would all burn in it.… Expand

Obviously, people do say what the propaganda, which they consume from such defenders of this disgusting film as Tessa Thompson, makes them say.
If anyone else doubts - yes, this is indeed a film in which 11-year-old girls dance sexy dances in open outfits in front of a crowd of adults, and this is shown as something good, progressive and as a desire for freedom.

Well.

There's nothing redeemable about this film whatsoever at all. This is nothing but Cheese Pizza front to back. It tries to tell you a story, and fails miserably. It's bland, disconnected, and makes absolutely zero sense whatsoever at all. The word on the street is truth. The entire point of this film is to sexualize children, and it's 100% foul, perverse tripe. Giving this "film" ANY manner of a positive score and/or defending it in the slightest should get you put on a list IMMEDIATELY.

ThisDuring one of the many highly sexualized and erotic dance scenes that purposefully exploit and objectify numerous scantily clad under age girls, one of the female child dancers lifts up her cropped top to fully display her bare breast. This is lawfully defined as pedophilia. As an 11 year old girl watches a female rap music video where naked women role play through dance both heterosexual and lesbian sex acts, the 11 year old female dance group mimics these sexual moves via on themselves and on each other while the camera zooms in on their sexual body parts as they erotically writher. Excessive closeup shots of breasts, bums, and spread crotches of scantily clad 11 year old girls during numerous sexualized dance routines. A pair of tight leather pants on an 11 year old girl are forcefully pulled down in the midst of a scuffle, as the camera glances at her panty exposed bum.
