I've gone through the peril of watching this movie.
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.

This movie is as confusing as the main character's mind, and or her journey.

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.

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.

After all, the film literally contains everything that Netflix showed in its advertising and showed on the advertising cover, while in the film all this is shown in great detail in lengthy scenes. 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.
The creators of this film should be checked by the prosecutor's office.

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).

Finally a movie that strikes controversy again! It must have been since Baise-Moi in 2000 that the public was so outraged about a film. Which is, in a way, understandable: sexualization of children is not something that should be takenFinally a movie that strikes controversy again! It must have been since Baise-Moi in 2000 that the public was so outraged about a film. Which is, in a way, understandable: sexualization of children is not something that should be taken lightly or even accepted at all. But that's exactly the director's point: teenage girls in search for identity are naively mimicking what half the social media world is doing all the time: selling sex. These artists promote their sexualized image as an expression of body awareness, female power and independence, but it's an inconvenient fact that they're influencing teenage girls into thinking that that is the way they should behave to be somebody. A few years ago I had a relationship with a woman with an 8 year old daughter. A friend from school came over and they were playing 'makeover'. So they occupied the bathroom for an hour and came back dressed and behaving much like the girls depicted in this movie. I was totally shocked! At that moment I realized the extent of social media's influence on young girls.

What you see in this film is a fact of life, this stuff has been happening for real, for years. And the film maker is drawing attention to this with a fist on your face. People seeing this as pedophilia are not getting the point I'm afraid. Could this film have made its point without depicting these dancing scenes? I don't think it could have. Unfortunately the message will probably also get lost with the public outrage it has now caused. In hindsight they might have filmed it with a bit more subtlety. But then again, sometimes controversy like this is needed to wake up the sleeping masses.

I recommend this movie.

It's nice that the movie has a message, it's bad that they essentially do the very thing they are claiming to be against. Everyone understood the message guys, the problem is they told the message in a way that discredits that very same message. Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This movie is hot garbage. There is a scene where the main girl is confronted over stealing a smartphone and you know what she does in response? Drops her pants. Not only is this movie morally bankrupt but it exacerbated a growing trend among youth to sexualize themselves for social media for attention and money. If you’re watching this and enjoying it you no taste in movies and you’re likely a closer pedophile. 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.

In any other situation, this would be recognized as grooming – teaching 11-year-old girls to twerk, to touch themselves suggestively, put their fingers in their mouths and pout. Anyone getting young girls to do this would be arrested. IfIn any other situation, this would be recognized as grooming – teaching 11-year-old girls to twerk, to touch themselves suggestively, put their fingers in their mouths and pout. Anyone getting young girls to do this would be arrested. If someone directed an 11 year old to touch themselves so that you could record it on camera, you'd be recognized as a pedophile. In any sexually explicit movie, actors are sexualized in front of cameras, directors, film crews, and ultimately audiences. There can be absolutely no justification when the actors are underage. These girls are aged between 12-14. This movie has absolutely crossed the boundaries of community standards and moral limits. Sexualizing real, precious, little girls (even if it’s to make a point), is stepping over a line that should never be crossed. If, as the makers claim, this movie is mean to be protesting the sexualizing of children, you cannot achieve that end by sexualizing them. Expand

That it was targeted by QAnon (a right-wing conspiracy cult) for that purpose, just before a big US election, makes it even more so, and raises questions about QAnon's financial backers (GOP, Putin, N.Korea...?). The film shows the desperate loneliness of a preteen girl from a traditional, Puritanical society with messages like "hell is mainly populated by women who show too much" trying to grow up in a liberal society with social media telling her she's the object of constant male desire. Her acting out after her father takes a 2nd wife is diagnosed by her imam as "There is no Devil here." QAnon followers should see that for themselves. Expand

While I feel like the furor that was sparked by all the controversy surrounding this film after Netflix's brutally unfortunate and incredibly stupid marketing work was far more dramatic than necessary. I think Cuties is a failed film in allWhile I feel like the furor that was sparked by all the controversy surrounding this film after Netflix's brutally unfortunate and incredibly stupid marketing work was far more dramatic than necessary. I think Cuties is a failed film in all its most basic aspects.

Cuties is certainly a coming of age story. After all, it's portraying a reality that we know happens to many young girls, that they're not even tweens.
Many people would like to believe that this is not the case, but their denial is equally harmful as it is dangerous.

The point here is that the film chose to be a poor show, rather than something with substance, and therefore any kind of message is completely lost.

Perhaps the problem with Cuties is that due to its poor visual handling, it prevents people from asking the pertinent questions.

I cannot assure you that that was the director's intention, but when the public decides to be scared by how the little girls are portrayed in this film, especially the way in which the film focuses on their bodies while they dance suggestively, they forget a key point: This happens and sometimes with the blessing of their parents.

We are seeing these girls practicing for a dance competition in which they'll perform extremely inappropriate dances for their age and end up doing it, it's a competition with an audience.

Do you stop to ask why this competition is happening? Obviously organized by adults.
They're allowing little girls to appear in this way on that stage.
And don't you think that among the crowd are pedophiles recording them with their phones?

As I said, it doesn't seem that Cuties is trying to ask those questions, but evidently in me as a viewer it provokes them and while people are more worried shouting that Netflix and the producers are promoting the hypersexualization of minors, they omit to criticize the society that it provokes it.

Today the innocence of children is destroyed by the pressure generated by living on social media. And if the adults are really concerned about this happening to these children, they should also start to care about the environment that causes it and I'm telling all this for parents who give children access to smartphones and social media without any kind of supervision.

In short, Cuties doesn't contribute to anything. It's not a good story and it's not a good film.
I think it did tried to expose a dark subject but inevitably got lost in its poor and irresponsible way of presenting it.

Okay. To start, Netflix DID NOT produce the film; they distribute it. There is a difference. Cuties premiered earlier this year to acclaim and awards. Once American audiences got wind of it, they lost it. Figures since we've all been stuck atOkay. To start, Netflix DID NOT produce the film; they distribute it. There is a difference. Cuties premiered earlier this year to acclaim and awards. Once American audiences got wind of it, they lost it. Figures since we've all been stuck at home and Americans seem to make a problem out of everything, whether it's warranted or not.

Picture this: You're at the age teetering on teenagedom, living with a traditional family, you're the doting child and the kids at school are exploring their individuality. Don't you want to be like them? You see the ones carted off to the principal for rebelling against authority. 11-year-old Amy is just that. Her father has taken a second wife, her mother struggles to accept this, and her Auntie believes in the old-fashioned ways of women staying home to support their husbands.

At school, Amy sees four of her classmates, Angelica, Coumba, Jess and Yasmine, aspiring to be famous dancers, their troupe known as the titular "Cuties", by entering a local contest. These girls wear low-cut dresses and short shorts, emulating what they see online. Angelica becomes Amy's first friend and her first encounter with standing out on her own. Alongside the others, Amy begins acting out, dressing provocatively and getting into all kinds of mischief. But they're kids, it's like the old (wildly outdated) adage "boys will be boys".

The sexualization of these children is condemned but there are a few characters – either minor or voiceless – who seem to be expies of what American audiences have perceived the film's demographic to be. They are generally looked on by the lens as degenerate, namely a middle-aged laser-tag employee and a random spectator during the finale dance competition.

Yes, Netflix screwed up big-time on the advertising but Cuties is much more than what that trailer shows. The scene where Amy's mother strikes her is something any parent would do when they find out their child has been parading around like an undesirable and attacking classmates (the instance in question here being a confrontation between Amy and a male student which ends with her stabbing his hand with a pencil). Personally, I believe in corporal punishment so hit away.

There's a scene in which Amy gets into a brawl with an older classmate and the Internet is trying to tear into it with "they pulled down her pants and it's SeXuAl!" Have you never been bullied? Is your existence so perfect you haven't been humiliated by a suggestive picture circulating around school? I have, and the moment is not meant to be seen in a sexual nature. But y'know people online, they riot without logic.

While the cinematography is less than unwelcome to any viewer (even myself, a gay man, I was cringing), the rest of the film feels real. This isn't your Hollywood blockbuster where everything is a fantasy. European cinema knows when and how hard to make something stick. Fathia Youssouf is a rising star in Amy, with a fierce but relatable character many of us can see ourselves in. I truly hope people can see Cuties for more than its misaimed marketing, and I look forward to what Maïmouna Doucouré has in store for the future. Those who will inevitably downvote this review, please get a brain. Although it's not bloody likely.
