“Cancel Netflix” is fashionable after a new movie appears on the platform.
Cuties, according to Netflix, follows Amy, an 11-year-old Muslim woman who joins a dancer organization called “The Cuties” at school and temporarily becomes aware of her nascent femininity, provoking her mother and values.
The film won the World Cinema Dramatic Directing Award at this year’s Sundance Film Festival, and is also rated on other websites by film critics such as Rotten Tomatoes, and critics praise the film for its handling of sensitive themes.
However, once the film’s announcement reached Netflix before Cuties’ september release date, the streaming platform was in trouble and targeted by serious negative reactions.
Thousands of others used Twitter to express their opinion on the film’s artworks, and many said the poster sexualized children. One Twitter user called it “disgusting,” while others said, “Netflix has been wrong here. “

What turns out to be an even bigger flaw in the Netflix component is that the original French poster of the film is very different:
The Internet is full of adorable tributes to #girldads and all thanks to Kobe Bryant.
Do you find a difference? Yes, not alone.
And it didn’t stop there, in fact, that Netflix also used another cover text to describe the film:

Despite this, many Twitter users insist that the film itself encourages the sexualization of children, giving it a rating of 18.
The film premiered on September 9.
