Sure, some scenes are uncomfortable to watch, but we're talking about a movie trying to create awareness about hypersexualization in children.

Amy's story proves to be a cautionary tale about the danger of trying to be somewhere you're not. The director also points the mixed messages receive children receive at home and when being around their so-called friends. 'Cuties' is a decent film and certainly doesn't deserve a low rating.… Expand

Its specifically meant to make the audience mad and repulsed. The gratuitousness is specifically to upset the audience and yes to draw in viewers. That way the message can actually be delivered. Without it, its delivering its message to an empty theater.

Yet it accurately depicts how many girls in this age do in fact act and express their confused, emerging sexuality. The movie has a fairly important message to convey. Even if its message is not as well defined as it should be, it does get its broad strokes in. With how much bloated controversy around it as has been drummed up it seems like its been fairly successful in what it was setting out to accomplish.

I will say this, it REALLY reminds me of the movie KIDS. It hits in much of the same way. An under the radar indie film that ends up causing an initial moral panic. We can look at Kids and many films of a similar vein that came before it and potentially see what Cuties may be viewed as in a few years when the shock value of it wears off as public perception of immoral behavior continues to erode where this level of disgusting is going to be seen as quaint. (yes, sadly, that day IS on its way) Once you strip that shock value away, you are only left with the remaining message and it is a slightly above average delivery of its message.

So it really feels like getting upset by how the film goes about all of this is like blaming the coffee table because you stubbed your toe. It was there the whole time. You've passed by it a million times without ever paying attention. Its just the one time that it gets in your way that you notice it and who else are you going to blame for it being there?

Honestly if it were not for peoples absolutely ridiculous knee jerk reactionism to this the film would be about a 4.5 but I gave an natural 5.5 and then rounded up to counter balance the absolute review shellacking this has gotten by people who clearly have not nor will ever watch it but wont let that stop them from having a "I will die on this hill" opinion about it. Its not a terrible film at its core and time will be the only actual judge if it is already doomed, or becomes a Kids level cult (pun only minorly intended) favorite. People complaining that they shouldn't use sexualization to bring awareness of sexualization are the same ones who think people trying to bring about a revolution for the good of people have no reason to be anything but civil, peaceful, quiet, and orderly. Sorry, but you clearly don't get how that works. Yes, sexualizing children is not acceptable but lets not kid ourselves, we will be seeing this sort of garbage from Disney in the next 10-15 years and if you don't think so then you are already lost and beyond hope of being saved. You cant fight against the darkness if you spend your entire life staring into the light till you are blind. Its NOT good, but its not THAT bad either. Anyone claiming it is, is over exaggerating a sense of faux offense because they liked it a little more than they should have.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Haha, I wonder if people who are screaming everyone who watches it is a paedophile, have actually seen it? Granted, you DO require a bit of a brain to understand the critical angle, alas. Since the dance scenes can easily be skipped - as they ARE uncomfortable - the coming of age story, the portrayal of immigrants' life and a kid looking for a way to belong at any cost - with a surprisingly positive ending. It's not the bestest movie ever, by any means, but it is worth a watch. But, you know, if you do, you must be a pedo. Same as if you watch a movie in which a kid kills anyone, you must be a serial killer, secretly, inside.… Expand

A very thought provoking film. Questions the "Status Quo" of today's modern society of what is right, and what is wrong, and what just is human desire, and nature, and it's affects on the human mind.

If you are a pedophile then you will love this movie. Seriously its disgusting. #boycottcuties #boycottnetflix.

Do not watch this film.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Connection terminated, im sorry to interupt you Elizabeth, if you still even remember that name. But im afraid youve been misinformed. You are not here to recieve a gift, nor have you been called here by the individual you assume, altough you have indeed been called. You have all been called here, into a labyrinth of sounds and smells, misdirection and misfortune. A labyrinth with no exit, a maze with no prize. You dont even realise that you are trapped, your lust for blood has driven you in endless circles chasing the cries of children in some unseen chamber, always seeming so near... Yet somehow out of reach. But you will never find them, none of you will. This is where your story ends. And to you, my brave voluenteer, who somehow found this job listing not intended for you. Altough there was a way out planned for you, i have a feeling thats not what you want. I have a feeling that you are right where you want to be. I am remaining as well, i am nearby. This place will not be remembered, and the memory of everything that started this can finally begin to fade away, as the agony of every tradegy should. And to you monsters trapped in the corridors. Be still, and give up your spirits, they dont belong to you. For most of you i belive there is peace, and perhaps more waiting for you after the smoke clears. Altough for one of you, the darkest pit of Hell has opened to swallow you whole, so dont keep the devil waiting, old friend. My daughter, if you can hear me, i knew you would return as well, its in your nature to protect the innocent. Im sorry that on that day, the day you were shut out and left to die, no one was there to lift you up into their arms the way you lifted others into yours. And then, what become of you. I should have known you wouldnt be content to dissapear. Not my daughter, i couldnt save you then, so let me save you now. Its time to rest, this ends, for all of us. End communaction.… Expand

Most of the people slating this clearly haven't watched it and wouldn't be capable of watching it due to the fact it doesn't tell you what to think. It's complex enough but hey, you can think for yourself, right? It's a good movie, well crafted, well acted, and it doesn't deserve to be caught up in all this. Glad I watched it and hope I see more films by the director. With regards to the sexualisation of kids, (for me) whilst this was clearly important it was a part of something bigger theme-wise and I'll stop there as I hate reviews that tell you too much or tell you what you're supposed to think. I thought it was a really good movie! Watch it and see what you think.....… Expand

It's clear that the vast majority of 'reviews' on here are by people who've either never seen the film, or have and just put it upon themselves to declare it 'sickening' etc and jump on the 'boycott netflix' bandwagon.

However, in truth, the movie is incredibly thought provoking and (of course) very disturbing.
It was made to push boundaries and teeter on the edge of acceptability.
And I guess it was also made to be offensive..

As a film, the acting is good, the narrative is decent, the direction is excellent but the quality of the cinematography varies. At no point does is the viewer allowed to 'feel', the message is blunt and blatant. But, again, it's a purposeful choice.

Ultimately though it IS a film, and and such made for entertainment value and not educational purposes. I think if the subject matter was the topic of a no holds barred Netflix documentary, people wouldn't have been so disturbed by what they were watching.
As a movie, for entertainment, i'm not annoyed I took the time to watch. As a means to delve into the characters, what they're going through, their lives, choices, pain, fear and ultimate triumphs.... To understand things.... It's going to get people talking.… Expand

The movie is so current that processes the theme of young girls being sexualized. Even though the theme is awful, it needs to be said and called upon, that struggles like this exist in our society.

I LOVE this movie, and I wish more people would notice its beauty! Cuties is an AMAZING AND BEAUTIFUL movie that supports women empowerment (MORE GENDER EQUALITY PLEASE!) and I wish it was shown in movie theaters all over the globe in every country ever. Not just Netflix. The little girls are so cute and adorable, I would hug them instead of a horrific demon trying to pretend to be a young girl. (Looking at you, whoever the freak the secondary character from that horrific Demon Slayer series. Why do people love you so, you attempted to murder your brother) It also gives us an awesome and important life lesson: to accept kids and hold on tight to who they are, and not to oversaturate them. We need more live action movies these days. I'm sick of ugly ol animation, screw people trying to defend it and make it get a foot in the door. Those people make me want to throw up. Let's get the beautiful story and visuals of Cuties more marketed and shown off so more people could appreciate it for once. I would also like to mention this work of art encouraged me to become a professional dancer, and I love to twerk non stop every day.… Expand

The most common defense of this movie is, "The moral of the story is about how bad the sexualization of children is!" 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.The most common defense of this movie is, "The moral of the story is about how bad the sexualization of children is!" 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. Gone With The Wind gets taken off of Netflix due to "racial insensitivity" but this horrific garbage is promoted front and center, actually being produced by Netflix themselves. Pedophilia will never be acceptable. This film should not exist. Period.… Expand
