' 'Cuties' honestly uncomfortable to watch in many places. But that doesn’t mean it’s not important or worthwhile, especially for parents,' writes briantruitt for usatodaylife.

"Cuties” stars Fathia Youssouf as a Senegalese immigrant named Amy who lives with her mom and younger brothers in a lower-class neighborhood in Paris. Her family is going through its own share of turmoil and Amy finds an escape from that when she watches another young girl named Angelica dancing in her apartment building's laundry room like she hasn't got a care in the world.

A series of rebellious moves leads Amy down a rabbit hole of increasingly bad decisions and increasingly suggestive dance moves, so much so that by the time they get to the Big Dance Off, audience members both young and old are turned off by the whole thing.

briantruitt usatodaylife Why is USGAY TODAY pushing this movie so hard?

briantruitt usatodaylife Children born or unborn in this nation, and the world are being killed, trafficked, sold into slavery, now new more evil entertainment to destroy their minds, lives and souls.

briantruitt usatodaylife It right out exploitation of children. I watched about one second to see what all the fuss was about. It's evil. I knew that from the spirit and quickly turned it off.

briantruitt usatodaylife

briantruitt usatodaylife Sick

briantruitt usatodaylife DOD_Project_149AZ2: It was manufactured 15 years ago; And it has the 'Number of the Beast' written all over it. Not uncomfortable to watch . . . CRIMINAL.

briantruitt usatodaylife Get the fuck out of here. It’s kiddie porn.

briantruitt usatodaylife If Ted Cruz has not seen the movie I’d ask why not? If he’s watched it more than once I’d ask why?

briantruitt usatodaylife Its a pedophiles movie. It sexualizes children and it's disgusting.

briantruitt usatodaylife Nobody would even know what this movie was if they never put it on. I saw, I don’t it shined a light on anything but instead glorified it

briantruitt usatodaylife It's the EPSTEIN CHANNEL. How in the world did anyone think it was a good idea to have young children act out sexual scenes over and over for a story? Document the jerks that were convicted of pedophilia, make them infamous.

briantruitt usatodaylife Stop trying to justify kiddie porn.

briantruitt usatodaylife Stop defending this. You don’t have to actually sexualize 11 year old girls in order to tell people that sexualizing 11 year old girls is wrong.

briantruitt usatodaylife So a French movie about a Muslim girl growing of age and finishing new friends on a dance team. The bad part is her mom has to make a room in their apt ready for her dads “new” wife. Child bride. I don’t think the viewer even gets to see the bride it’s just insinuated. Wtf

briantruitt usatodaylife Attempts to normalize pedophilia will fail.

briantruitt usatodaylife Post like this can get blood on your hands

briantruitt usatodaylife I don't have a netflix account. One problem is that people watch this stuff as entertainment. There are 3 major networks and countless publications in the USA that can bring attention to the problem the show is addressing.

briantruitt usatodaylife I just hope it has diversity, which means lots of black people and no white people. That's real diversity.

briantruitt usatodaylife Now the media is normalising child porn. Good lord.. Who isn't a pedophile in the entertainment industry?

briantruitt usatodaylife Amazing to me how many are willing to die on the pedo hill, but you do you USA Today.

briantruitt usatodaylife It's a vile and detestable exploitation of children.

briantruitt usatodaylife There are ways to send a message that don't involve sexualized 11 year olds. It is important. An important reminder that things like this can not be normalized.

briantruitt usatodaylife 🤢🤢🤢

briantruitt usatodaylife 'Quick! Normalize pedophilia before Gislaine testifies!'

briantruitt usatodaylife I've seen enough of this thing to know I don't want any part of it.

briantruitt usatodaylife

briantruitt usatodaylife I’m thinking that everyone that is bashing it, probably has never seen it. They are just listening to the media. Because that’s what this world has come too!

briantruitt usatodaylife No, Cuties sexually exploits children for profit. Period. There's nothing 'nuanced' or 'important' about it. If one cannot make a commentary about an evil without perpetrating that evil, then the commentary needs to be left to someone who can

briantruitt usatodaylife Incorrect. Exploits young children. No excuse.

briantruitt usatodaylife I'm a parent and the movie was disturbing and disgusting.

briantruitt usatodaylife Why don’t you explain to us what was important and worthwhile in this dumpster fire of a movie?

briantruitt usatodaylife Bullshit. Just keep peddling your pedo sickness. USAToday must have been regulars on Epstein Island.

briantruitt usatodaylife Wow . Kids and yall are saying it's ok and important... Wow... America full of pedophiles... Netflix incuded

briantruitt usatodaylife It’s disgusting

briantruitt usatodaylife

briantruitt usatodaylife It’s disgusting no matter how you slice it

briantruitt usatodaylife Anyone thinking this is acceptable does not have kids or is a pedophile wanna be.

briantruitt usatodaylife USA Today out here defending this shit

briantruitt usatodaylife Creepy Joe Biden LOVES the movie

briantruitt usatodaylife Did not read the article but expecting the obvious justification is 'Even Pedos deserve some entertainment.. '

briantruitt usatodaylife NO STOP NORMALIZING PEDOPHELIA

briantruitt usatodaylife CancelNetflx

briantruitt usatodaylife What I don’t get are all these people that watched all these little girl beauty pageants with honey boo boo but suddenly they’re screaming bloody murder about this?

briantruitt usatodaylife TLDR: because netflix really really fucked up the marketing.

briantruitt usatodaylife It comes across as a live action Bratz dolls movie. Expect confusion and backlash.

FFS Netflix get rid of that movie They're too young to consent to sex, they're too young to consent to engaging in sexualized dancing on camera and have it broadcast to the world.

What's Going On With the Cuties Movie Controversy?Some have called for Netflix to pull the film from its streaming service and director Maïmouna Doucouré says she has gotten death threats. But most people still haven't seen the film itself. It was controversial before it moved to Netflix. It was controversial when it showed at Sundance. An award does not mitigate the problems at any stage. The question is why was it not controversial enough to prevent production. Of course it won!!!! Pedos in the filming industry had to praise and reward their own kind. And why they always want to show that a muslims life is tooooo difficult to handle!!! A horrible movie for kids to watch !!
