, is being praised for its critique of the hyper sexualization of young girls - and the consequences of that - as they rush to become adults in the age of social media.
But instead of passing judgment, the self-taught writer and filmmaker says she wanted to understand what she was seeing. She dove into research, interviewing more than one hundred adolescent girls over the course of a year and a half. To escape the drama playing out at home, Amy befriends a group of popular girls at school who have formed a dance troop called 'Les Mignonnes' or 'the Cuties.'
Filmmaker Doucouré says social media adds a layer of complexity to what it means to be an adolescent in 2020.

This film’s out now on Netflix, & it is even worse than we thought. It is abhorrent. I usually look to you for a well balance of healthy questions, dialogue & emotion but you disappointed big time. I’m wondering - How much you got paid to help normalize child pornography?
This denounces sexualizing kids the way late night softcore porn denounces objectifying women. If this sentence confuses you or you don’t see the equivalence than you have no business being around kids
And the current people actually complaining about the film right now are the very thing they claim the defenders of the film are 🧐
it's their fault for that. not mine.
I totally agree. I think the majority of those clutching their pearls while boycotting netflix didn’t watch the movie. But hey, the movie is getting a lot more publicity than it would have otherwise.
I had a problem with the marketing. Thought I'd give the film the benefit of the doubt... Now that it's out and I've seen how hypocritical and dissonant the messaging in the actual movie is it doesn't get a free pass. A bunch of sickos are gonna rub one out to this movie...
Right on, ! Now when does Chris Hansen join this thread?
This film would have received high praise if Epstein Island was still operating. 150 children have been rescued from trafficking since this was released. Decriminalizing pedophilia starts with normalizing it through media. playing it's part. California has taken action.
promotes pedophilia.
DefundNPR
So you support what is legally defined as pedophilia. Good to know. Will be petitioning for the removal of your funding.
Yes, apparently to legitimately criticize baby rape, you have to watch videos of that too...only way one can recognize the great harm it inflicts on babies is to see actual representations of it.
No thanks. This is not a film; it’s smut. But you go ahead and rationalize it as art.
People that are opposed to the sexualizing of preteen children don't have to see a movie about it, we already oppose it. People that are not opposed to the sexualizing of preteen children are not suddenly going to start opposing it by being served it on a platter.
NPR, this is an unforgivable distortion of reality. The lauding of this film with pedophile content is the final outrage. This is where we permanently part ways. I now consider you an enemy of all that is moral and right.
You people aren’t even trying to hide it anymore are you?

Its sick
Wow. Of course NPR would praise this film. You people are SICK!!
I think what we understand, is there r some elements that seem more natutal than others and some that r obviously manufactured... I also think that it is very healthy to have converations on issue (s) and question the behavior from perspective of what is culturally appropriate?
nonprofitorgs So hypersexualizing young girls for all to see is the solution?! Despicable!
netflix The exploitation of children is OK today, they can promote the hyper-sexualization of preadolescent girls, it’s no big deal. Netflix is benefiting financially from the pandemic, and at the expense of the objectification and exploitation of women. I canceled Netflix ♨️
It might potentially fall in the same art house exploitation category, unfortunately, as “Kids”, where children viewers don’t see it as a critique, but as a reality that is to be sucked into.
The movie seems interesting and may be worth a watch - the issue is that Netflix marketed it as straight up child porn.
I’m really looking forward to watching this film. Personally, I think the motive behind the plot is bold & insightful. Thank you, NPR, for this summary. It’s crucial that people see more than what Netflix has portrayed.
it’s being “praised” for hyper sexualizing young girls? wtf, NPR!? you guys are pedophiles now?
Meanwhile, California slouches toward legalization of sex with children.
Did you see the marketing.? That's what did it.
🤔
DO NOT use children in your 'critique' of the hyper sexualization of children!
So watching a bunch of minors doing hyper sexualized dances on film is ok if it's a critique, got it!
Very disappointed at NPR
It's called 'spin'
Because this was their description of the film. 👇🏽 does that seem appropriate?
Likes have been the currency of self esteem since before the internet...... tech mimics life and sometimes puts it on steroids or in plain sight
This movie is anti islam, anti tradition, and pro pedo.
After helping to build the Internet. I spoke to a teen girl in a open chat room. It was 1998 and at that moment. I became afraid for teen girls in social media. Being a Father I became so fearful for them. In 1998
All humanity must have standards as to sexual activity and reproduction. In America, it’s age 18, which ought to be adopted by every other backwards ass, shit-dipping culture on earth, including Muslims, pardon my stating the obvious Our Prosperity requires all to participate.
Kids under 18 shouldn't have social media accounts or YouTube channels. This is a no-brainer.
WTF? It's being universally DENOUNCED for sexualizing children itself. It isn't a critique on ANYTHING.
The day anybody will start seeking validation of likes and comments in their social media profile will be the day everything will be taken away from them. Be bold enough to stand alone and stand tall, know exactly what you stand for and against too.

sudah ganti saja mata uangnya pakai koin Emas
A lot of right wingers got upset because they watched the trailer and didn't understand it was a critique...
4 a.m. talking point re pedos “replace ‘promotes’ with ‘critiques’.”
Yeah no thanks I don't think so
I find it ironic that there was all this outrage over the film, when the film pretty much critiques the very thing people were outraged at this movie about. The outrage over the marketing makes sense, but people losing their mind over the movie is funny.
