What's the consensus on "Cuties"?

Don’t plan on seeing it but it’s hard to reconcile the “oh, it’s ACSHUALLY criticizing the sexualization of gurls” reaction narrative with what I saw in the brief preview Netflix plays

No thanks

Why aren't people outraged by Dance Moms?

Cuties?...more like hotties!

I hadn’t heard of it, so watched the trailer. I didn’t get the pedo vibes. But I also see the telegraph headline posted above and that’s frickin weird.

My take from reading a few articles and watching a couple of clips is that the movie tries to address the issue of hyper sexualization of young girls by hyper sexualizing young girls. The clip I saw was pretty gross and made me feel like I needed to wash my eyes out with bleach.

It’s like if I was against setting puppies on fire (I am) and made a movie where I set a puppy on fire to show you how bad it is. Horrible story telling if you can’t convey your message without showing it so explicitly.

Interesting that the same media that told us that Joker would cause mass shootings and no one should go see it are begging us to go see this movie because of the “nuance”. GTFO.

No self respecting adult should be watching it.

I have to admit that Netflix's capitulation to the left makes it harder for me to resubscribe/rotate every few months like I've done for years. Is Cuties a brain-child of Netflix's paid influencers the Obama's? Now add HBO Max into the mix and I will definitely subscribe to them when they get on Roku platform. Only thing that will get me back to Netflix will be new season of Ozark. My two main rotations will now be HBO Max and Criterion Channel.

The filmmaker is a woman who has expressly criticized and objected to the social media pressure on young girls to be more sexual. I think that's the point of her work.

The vast majority of the criticism of her movie(not surprisingly) has come from people who have never seen the film.
That is quite typical, sadly, when it comes to moral outrage over movies, books, etc. Clueless people tend to pile on.
