Some of the many scandalized Twitics pointed out that the film’s IMDB parental guide cautions that a young female’s breast is disclosed during “an sexual dance background, ” while others noted that they didn’t even have to watch the full cinema to know that it was promoting “child porn.”
Users fumed 😛 TAGEND
How is this even legal ??? How can anyone think that this would be a good movie to construct? What kind of a person could sit through this and watch prepubescent children are also involved in sexually sexual behaviour? This is absolutely NOT okay!

But while the public reaction to the film is essentially one big-hearted upchuck emoji, professional connoisseurs feel a much different acces about Maimouna Doucoure’s directorial entry. Believe it or not, the film has a connoisseurs value of 90% (!!!) on critique aggregator locate Rotten Tomatoes, with an audience tally of merely 5 %.

According to the professional movie watchers, these irate social media consumers are absolutely missing the target of the film, which focuses on Amy, an 11 -year-old Senegalese girl who chassis a twerking dance radical with her other young friends.
Many commentators are describing the controversial movie as a nuanced description of inadequate, unsupervised children failing to properly threw hyper-sexualized media into perspective due to a lack of resources or lore. Rolling Stone’s David Fear announced Cuties a “sensitive coming-of-age movie” that “is the polar opposite of what it’s accused of being.”
Richard Brody of The New Yorker wrote in his positive review 😛 TAGEND
“The subject of Cuties isn’t twerking; it’s children, extremely inadequate and nonwhite children, who are deprived of the resources–the education, the emotional support, the open household discussion–to positioned sexualized media and pop culture into perspective. Cuties is about the absence of knowledge and is a lack of rational discourse about sex and virility, capability and desire, that help young people to avow and confront these drives constructively–or, at least , not extremely destructively.”
The LA Times’ Justin Chang wrote 😛 TAGEND
“Society’s rampant sexualization of preadolescent girls is one topic that Doucoure themes to tough critical inquiry; she’s made an empathetic and analytical movie , not an exploitative one. Both her film and the unfortunate contretemps smothering it make at least two things perfectly clear: A young girl can look at herself, certainly look at herself, and learn something candid and strong from its own experience. Some putative grownups, by differ, can never be vexed to do the hard work of looking at something, let alone drawing lessons from it.”
Other reviewers mentioned how Amy’s decision to join the dance group comes from a locate of rebelling against her misogynistic culture, which she’s faced with after getting news that her parent will be taking a second wife — something her father is forced to be supportive about.
So it seems that there is more than gratifies the eye to this very polarizing French film. But even if it is a* critique* on how young children are mimicking the hyper-sexual content they read on social media every day, does that apologize its most explicit moments?
What do U remember, Perezcious readers? Is this movie just too inviting? Is it more French ?? Let us know what you think in the comments.
