    Summary

    Reviewers say 'Cuties' delves into cultural clash, social media influence, and the sexualization of young girls, aiming to critique these issues but often criticized for exploitative imagery. Some commend its poignant depiction of girlhood pressures, while others condemn its controversial portrayal of underage girls in suggestive scenarios, arguing it normalizes exploitation. The film's marketing and Netflix's promotional strategies have faced significant backlash for misrepresenting its content and fueling public outrage.

    Horrible.

    No stars. I rate this movie a zero. Low budget trash depicting very young girls in a vile and disturbing sexual manner.

    Sadly real

    Shaming this movie for what it depicts it's like blaming a thermometer because it says we have fever. This is just a picture of our horrible reality.

    Hypocrites hate this movie

    If the cast were male it would've been a non issue. I've seen reviews saying to cast the 12 year old girls with 18year olds? How would that work exactly? With all the controversy I thought I'd see something worse than what's on 10 million tik tok accounts. There's never anybody screaming to cancel tik tok or periscope or twitter or Facebook or instagram for the same reasons they want Netflix canceled. What the lead character goes through with her ultra religious and conservative traditional mother is heart breaking. And she gives a fantastic acting performance. I would've never have heard of this movie or seen it if it wasn't for people losing their minds over it.

    Valid point - questionable execution

    Sometimes movies have to tell an uncomfortable story, sometimes movies have to depict uncomfortable trurh. Despite all storytelling shortcomings Cuties has - I can agree that it at least has a valid point about children oversexualization these days. But you don't have to depict it so bluntly! Some may say that this is the point, you have to watch it and think to yourself: "Damn, this is sickening". But this is just mental gymnastics at its finest. You don't have to depict a litetal murder to tell that "murder is bad", you don't have depict real, unacted abuse, rape, torture to say that these things are bad! I get it, maybe Cuties story never could've worked if they haven't depicted oversexualizing scenes. But if that's the case - this movie shouldn't even exist. It should be a book, an animation with adult actors, whatever. Just something that doesn't take this message too far into reality.

    This is child abuse masquerading as a movie

    The people who did this movie should be accused of child abuse, together with the people who let this happen. As a parent of young girls, this thing is unacceptable.

    Its one thing to try and describe underaged children being subjected to sexual behavior, its another thing to actually enact that behavior.

    This is simply a movie for perverts who like underaged children, and somehow it got through all checkpoints and got published.

    I initially thought that most of the people who where outraged by this movie where exaggerating, as that is the case for a lot of other questionable movies, so I decided to have a look at it, and I am utterly disgusted, did not even make it through the whole movie.
