So have y’all seen the cuties movie?

[BUtterfield 8 38,275]

It’s on Netflix now

I haven’t but judging from the clips I saw on twitter.... it’s a mess 

 

[River 90,488]

which movie?

 

ahh it's Cuties, not "cuties movie" like movie with cute ppl

[JazzGa 14,348]

That's the problem with judging something based on out-of-context clips.

Does the movie contain footage of young girls twerking? Yes. It's a story ABOUT the pressure young dancers face to grow up too fast. Navigating sexism and oversexualixation is a part of the story. 

(According to the female African director. I haven't watched the movie yet either)

I saw that trending on Twitter, got the basic info and promised myself to not engage on this topic when it ended up on GGD.  

Yet here I am.  

[Enzo 37,977]

I saw some scenes on Twitter and gurl

I get the message, like they are trying to acknowledge the hyper sexualization of girls 

And how do they do it? Hyper sexualizating minors in the movie

It doesn't sit right with me putting those girls on such uncomfortable position, especially knowing how the internet works 

[DC 25,164]

I don't want to 

[anonanon 932]

Can't wait to read all the comments in here after last time 

Planning on watching this weekend or next week, though, to give a proper opinion.

[Ivy 10,795]

Not yet but I'm debating watching it or not. I hate that those clips are now circulating, but I guess that must have been what they wanted when they made the movie? To get people talking?

[DiskoBaby 1,929]

I felt so uncomfortable watching some of the clips and reading about what they’re doing. It’s pedo eye Candy at the end of the day.

This should have been a book or a documentary if awareness was what they were going for. Not an r rated movie starring little girls doing adult stuff 

[Kulture Kiari 3,433]

I just dont see how this movie is ok. 

It's kind of like saying "Dont kill dogs, cuz it's so sad. Here, I'll prove it to you by killing a dog in front of you."

This. The internet is full of lowkey pedophiles as well. 

I dont know, I wont watch it and wont give it my time of day, other than on this thread. 

[sampool 5,560]

No.
A pedobait excuse for a movie. 

[PrinceOfTheStorm 5,904]

I only saw a clip of this movie and a girl literally takes a picture of her v*gna and ig uploads it. Nah I'm good w/ not watching it.

[Lord Temptation 11,209]

It’s always the French films isn’t it? They love to be provocative. Quite a few films from France from the last few years have dealt with themes of underage sex/sexuality. (Look it up )

Not surprised. This raunch culture goes back to the 1990s. Remember the 1999 movie “Romance”? It was the first film to be released that showed unsimulated sex.

Couldnt They have used older actors and still potray the message ?. I mean disney had 25 year olds playing high school teens .

It apparently has very explicit graphic and disgusting scenes with these poor girls.

I understand and appreciate the topic of the movie: oversexualization of young girls in dancing competitions which was part of the director's life

But you should not do this...Imagine a pedo movie where you see real graphic scenes of the abuse...it's too disturbing and inappropriate and very reckless
