These simple Americans have been complaining that this is disgusting French pedo fodder. The irony is that the 11 year-olds weren't sexualised either in the movie or in any of the promotional material until it was released in the US:
Netflix has been slammed for its decision to release French film Cuties, with fans accusing the streaming giant of ‘sexualising girls’ in the ‘coming-of-age’ movie that centres around an 11-year-old who is torn between traditional family values and hyper-sexualised dance routines and the world of pop culture.
The story centres on Amy, an 11-year-old being raised in a traditional Senegalese Muslim household, who is caught between traditional values and internet culture which focuses on the hyper-sexualisation of girls after she joins a group of dancers named ‘the cuties’ at school, and rapidly grows aware of her burgeoning femininity.
In one poster for the Netflix release, Amy and her ‘Cuties’ can be seen wearing booty shorts and crop tops, with knee pads, as they cut sexy dance poses under the backdrop of stage lights, which has caused a great deal of outrage on social media.
One Twitter user this week: ‘It’s interesting to compare the french version of the cuties poster to the american version… like the French version has more “kids having fun!” vibes, while the American version is just f**king…. gross.'
