For the past month, cancelnetflix has been trending on social media. It all comes down to a new French film titled Cuties. A grand jury recently issued an indictment against Netflix because of this film. Read about it here. I read many of the reviews, but one of the curious things that I noticed was very few people writing about it had actually watched it. But with as much attention as this cultural phenomenon was receiving, I made a decision that I knew would sit on my stomach like a lead sandwich. I watched it. What could possibly go wrong? An 11 year-old twerking dance crew?
Alas, Netflix, which picked up the big screen after its well-received Sundance premiere, marketed it with a poster that made many people deeply and righteously affront. Netflix apologized and changed its advertising language and image but alas, it was too late. A picture is worth a thousand words, especially Challenge I say it? In America, so as to is. In other parts of the world, including France and Senegal, the movie premiered to praise for its portrayal of a child pulled amid two cultures.
Amy, an year-old girl, joins a arrange of dancers named the cuties by school, and rapidly grows aware of her burgeoning femininity - upsetting her mother and her values in the process. Original title: Mignonnes. Play advert See more at IMDbPro.
