Cuties (2020)

“Cuties” is a French film that was released on Netflix, but it garnered widespread criticism due to its content. The movie revolves around children participating in a “dance show,” and the consensus is that it goes well beyond acceptable limits. The level of its problematic nature is so severe that it has prompted a Capitol Hill investigation.

However, many online critics seem to have missed a crucial point—the film is actually intended to be a critique of the very elements that people accuse it of promoting. The subtleties of this approach aren’t readily apparent to those who are swift to judge, as they struggle to distinguish between portraying a subject matter and endorsing it. Their inability to grasp this distinction is evident, despite their well-intentioned concerns.
