,” is encouraging critics to watch the movie — which it says makes a statement about pressures young girls face in conforming to societal role models of female sexuality.

“‘Cuties’ is a social commentary against the sexualization of young children,” a Netflix spokesperson said in a statement to. “It’s an award-winning film and a powerful story about the pressure young girls face on social media and from society more generally growing up — and we’d encourage anyone who cares about these important issues to watch the movie.”

In a six-minute segment accompanying the film on Netflix, Doucouré says that in performing research for the film she met with hundreds of pre-teens to understand how they perceived their femininity in today’s society.

Netflix defends pedophelia.

netflix is lying. They are going into soft porn & pedophilia as that’s where the money is. They are normalizing it for the mainstream as corrupt Hollywood already loves this degenerate subject matter. But some things must be off limits or our society falls like many before us.

I've always been against cancel culture. But excuse me if I make an exception for pedophilia. There is nothing right about this. I hope it was worth the 8+Billion Netflix has already lost. Scary part is how many people are defending this crap.

CancelNetfilx CancelVariety Todd Spangler looks to have changed his article a little bit. I would review Todd if he had offered up the story instead of being told to write it. It takes a pedo to want to defend a pedo. These types of sick pricks stick together usually.

The fact that Todd Spangler is even giving this platform a voice is disgusting. It’s like he is trying to make it seem ok. Seriously gross

The left are a bunch of creepy pervs these days

Sundance judges and recent reviewers in today's PC climate could only applaud a young colored female director for her 'meaningful' film. If you have any doubt that this film is soft porn, just imagine how it would have been received if the director had been a fat, old white man.

Note this to viewers, don’t let your children see this film.

Anyone who hasn't seen the movie but running with headlines should STFU. This movie is 1:31 long movie, 10 DAMN MINUTES amounts to these girls dancing. I'm expecting a raunchy teenage version of Step Up and it's NOTHING near that! Did the writer of this actually watch

So, Obama is ok with this? Really? Democrats.? They are all ok with the sexualization of children? What about me too? Ok, goodby Netflix

The film is disgusting. Period. Tried watching it and wanted to vomit.

The pic has the girls doing the duck lip.....NUFF SAID

netflix didn't even make the movie. They bought it from some African country.

I watched the film. I didn’t enjoy it. I wish I did. I wanted the story to focus more on the family drama which was more interesting to me. The dancing was purposefully to make you uncomfortable and highlight just how disgusting it is. It doesn’t glorify it in the slightest.

Lol ppl complaining abt this movie but everyone is totally fine with oversexualization of women and post fucking wap tiktok dances and then are suddenly surprised to see the product of it

Fucking gross

It all leads to this. SaveOurChildren

CancelNetflicks

I’m thinking someone needs to check the hard drives of the people defending this film.

Its official netflix SUPPORTS pedos

Piss off. CancelNetflix

Is this some kind of sick joke🤬 this movie sexualizes young children and netflix should remove it ASAP.

Of course they do, because they need to cater to pedophiles

People defending this are probably people who watched the whole movie! Sick, no excuses! SaveOurChildren CancelNetflixNow

Don't blame a movie that's highlighting the indifference people have shown towards sexualisation of children by the left for ages now - you know, the likes of Carli B

Bit rich coming from Netflix - their 'progressive' stuff on Netflix is encouraging the sexualisation of young children in the name of feminism

man i don't know 😐

So did Mendelson from Fobes, no worries , critics and award shows lose viewers each year, soon we will be free of their useless opinions and pandering !

Where was the outrage for dance moms and toddlers and tiaras? Kids act out what they see without understanding what it means. The film says that. The clip circulating shows the crowd's disgust and the girls' naivety but guess twerk's worse than a kid as daisy duke. We know why

They are defending themselves? Do any of these 'defenders' have daughters? Absolutely shameful!

This outrage reminiscent of Kids from Larry Clark/Harmony Korine. Shocking depiction of kids in NYC doing drugs, having sex, one young girl gets HIV, barely a teen. That film was bleak AF, but spoke to a dark reality. I haven't seen this film so can't compare beyond the outrage.

so If I go an snort cocaine, is that a social commentary on drugs?

Hollywood is so desperately sick

Maybe have a better poster?!

This article ends on a very odd note. It almost feels like a final wrap up paragraph was left off.

Disgusting

More gaslighting from the left

Ok

'According to the conservative American advocacy group the Parents Television Council, which claimed it has reviewed the film, “Cuties” is objectionable because of its overt sexualization of the child characters.' Definitely not going to listen to these whiners

Netflix is promoting child pornography & pedophilia.

😑🙄

It is, but Netflix turned it into some pervert peepshow

'...which it says makes a statement about pressures young girls face in conforming to societal role models of female sexuality.' Sounds like a reason to watch it to me

Seriously?

that is what the movie is about. netflix’s marketing made it look like something else entirely.

So to bring awareness of the sexualization of children they sexualize them in the movie? This doesn’t make any sense.

It’s not . Don’t say anything else if you are smart.

Bullshit CancelNetflix

Against? Why, that's really something else, netflix. I have a very simple question for any executive there, or critic that defends this: Would you allow your young daughter to be in a movie like this? That's the simple test you'd have to pass. I think I already know the answer.

Goofy.

It's disgusting tbh

it's child sexual exploitation

Just QAnon going crazy this morning over a film they never watched nor planned to watch

By sexualizing them? That’s kind of making a movie about curb-stomping and curb-stomping someone to show why it’s bad.
