From what I understand the film isn’t glorifying the kids? It was just Netflix’s title screen that was a bit out of touch. So, what are you trying to accomplish here? Kill everyone for watching a documentary just cause it’s over sensitive topics surrounding children and bc you see them as pedophiles? In that case call me a mass murderer and a bomber cause I just watched “I’ll be gone in the dark” and a film about the Boston marathon.

I've done a bit of research on this since I saw some of the backlash on FB. Cuties is not a documentary, it's a fictional film made and set in France. Though the intended message is pretty clear to most viewers, a lot of the reviews state that the filmmaker went about it in a hippocritical way. Many feel that the director herself sexualized these girls far beyond what was necessary to get the point across. Most of the non-overreacting reviews state that they just needed to shoot and cut the dance scenes in a less pedophilic manner and the message would have come across more clearly. No one likes feeling like a sex offender just because the camera angles were low and zoomed too close to a bunch of 11-year old's butts while they "twerk and dance more suggestively than women in rap music videos" (quote from the reviews).
