i won't be watching the film, but the context is always important, so i wouldn't rush to judgement on a clip

There are audience members audibly booing and making rude gestures throughout the performance, I wouldn't say it really glamourises their performance at all. It's uncomfortable to watch though, as are child pageants.

...the context of the movie from its reviews, Arista...your ‘judgement’ may be guided by social media ‘cancelling’ and that’s cool, but mine isn’t...
Cuties opened to positive critics' reviews in Sundance due to its succinct portrayal of a sensitive topic. The film focuses on the very private experiences of a young girl who has grown up in a traditional family but is seduced by the overtly sexualised "dance clique" that her friend runs. The film tries to critically analyse a media culture and society that pushes or inspires young and impressionable girls to sexualisation. According to The Hollywood Reporter, the film "establishes its critical view of a culture that steers impressionable young girls toward the hyper-sexualization of their bodies". Screen Daily also felt that the film was for mature audiences and "explicitly designed to shock mature audiences into contemplation of today's destruction of innocence". Originally titled Mignonnes, the largely well-received French-language film premiered earlier this year at the Sundance Film Festival, won the World Cinema Dramatic Directing Award. If anything, the film appears to be a comment on the hyper-sexualisation of children, the very thing that critics are objecting to. It was well-received for its mature handling of hyper-sensitive topics. |

Cuties, Netflix review: a provocative powder-keg for an age terrified of child sexuality
Articles like that don't help defend the movie tbh A lot of the controversy could have been avoided if they went for the "Dawson Casting" approach. |

The question should be is why is it allowed to happen in the first place? Not that its being aired as a TV show

Neh the more I see and read about this, the worse it gets. It doesn't matter if it's a well made film or what the message is; the content is horrendous visually and unquestionably exploitative of the child actors who are in the film, to such an extent that I'd call it negligent or even abusive. This should never have been allowed to be made using real child actors. Not in the name of art, nor anything else.

...by using actual children to push a provocative conversation topic. Wow aren't those film makers edgy!! Honestly I can only imagine that the people writing these articles haven't realised that the half naked (and apparently, there is partial nudity) children in the film are actual children who cannot possibly have known what they were making "for the adults to have a good ol' think about". Vile. |

Netflix deserves this as do the ones who have made it.
