Nah. It's highly suspect.
I've got no dog in this fight, but it definitely seemed like Netflix was either totally tone-deaf regarding how they were advertising the movie or deliberately trying to provoke backlash for free PR.

Is it?
I haven't seen the film, and have zero plans to watch it. The initial poster/synposis I saw, was like nope. Then from reading excerpts of reviews and people describing scenes. It sounds gross as fuck. I won't deny there is merit in the story being told.
However, that doesn't negate the definitions of what is classified as certain things. This isn't a documentary, this is a film.

Ted Cruz called the movie child pornography. As if the entire purpose is titillate. Which shows there's a high chance he was turned on by it.

Absolutely and I hope whoever made that ad was fired.

I’ll wait for the James review
:wagReactionaryHistrionic and shallow people are sensitive to 'optics'. They don't really care about digging into nuance or understanding the subtlety of a topic. It doesn't matter what political persuasion you are, if you're wired this way then you behave the same. Just different triggers.
Much of this (outrage and discussion of the topic) feels like similar terrain we covered when Toddlers and Tiaras debuted and made a big buzz.
Americans are troglyodytes.It's not an American thing, people jump to conclusions everywhere, based on headlines (which is what happened in this case).

This is far from the first film to talk about child/teen sexuality, there's a million movies that approach the subject more or less crudely, and the only difference is that this one got main stream attention because it was on Netflix, and they had the brilliant idea to sell it as some kind of sassy comedy, with that horrid poster.
Have no interest in watching the movie (just because it doesn't interest me in general though) but from the trailer and reviews, it's clear it's some kind euro coming of age piece like Celine Sciamma's films or Lucille Hadžihalilović's are, or even some of Andrea Arnold's (in Fishtank, Fassbender rapes a teen age girl! OMG!).
Speaking in general, certain cinema remains niche for a reason. :yeshrug
Why is James familiar with the dancing tendencies of Brazilian toddlers? :thinking
:lolWhy is James familiar with the dancing tendencies of Brazilian toddlers? :thinking
I grew up in Brazil.
After seeing this, and re reading some of the outrage. It's so fucking stupid. What creeps me out is that post from that era poster that explicitly detailed some shots that were like seconds long.
I don't know and don't want to know where some people noticed a camel toe in that whole movie.
Calls someone a no name yet isn’t in the ‘cord :girlaff
I don't know, somethings don't have to be depicted.
For example, I think a more poignant story could be depicted without gratuitous shots of 11 years boobs and asses.
There's a point where you're not able to view visceral reactions to these things as part of the narrative arc, and instead a means by which 11 year olds are more or less exploited by a consuming class that has more to benefit from its "exploitation" than being impacted by its message.
Some of the shit that goes on in the movie is legit disgust-inducing even w. added context/intentionality.
James this is why you aren't in the Discord.
please ban james.

So this thread was just a bait thread to get James banned, right? :doge
Wanting to lead an honest life, a notorious bank robber (Liam Neeson) turns himself in, only to be double-crossed by two ruthless FBI agents
Islamic fundamentalist might hate the film (they will) because it promotes the idea that -spoilers-spoiler (click to show/hide)a man taking another wife without caring how his present wife feels is awful, and that if a woman doesn't want to wear a hijab, it should be up to them.[close]
I'm sure there's other stuff too, but i've yet to watch. What i've gathered is that the main character is in a strick, morally backwards religious household so she acts out by basically trying to become the opposite of what her family expects of her, but takes it way too far and at the end realises she ought to stop trying so hard and just be herself. It sounds like a pretty stock standard coming-of-age film message, but no. Somehow it's united Tulsi Gabbard, Ted Cruz, and ISIS in opposition. There's a pretty good chance 14 days from now Chris Wallace will ask a question about Cuties during the presidential debate. This is life now.
The French Culture Minister issued a statement to defend the film against attacks by the US Republicans.

2020's America really is becoming 1920's Weimar Germany and Hollywood & San Fransisco are the Sodom & Gomorrah of the day - and it's the same tribe of people setting the angle of downward descent...
this movie is an attempt at normalizing pedophilia. you can't convince me otherwise. the makers of this show should be investigated by the feds for what went on with the audition of 800 little girls and all their hard drives seized.

It was made in France, not Hollywood.
