Who would have thought a small, indie French film would cause a worldwide uproar? Alas, that’s exactly what has happened with the new feature, “Cuties,” which has been making headlines for all the wrong reasons over the past couple of weeks. While the feature was acclaimed coming out of its Sundance debut earlier this year (it even won an award for its director), when Netflix released marketing for the film, featuring young pre-teen girls in tight clothes, social media went crazy saying the film was somehow inappropriate for viewers and should be banned.

Cuties director Maïmouna Doucouré has defended her Netflix film amid a potential US government investigation.The film, which won a directing award at Sundance but has been the subject of controversy since its release on September 9, is still at the centre of debates about the sexualisation of children.“It’s because I saw so many things and so many issues around me lived by young girls, that I decided to make this film and sound an alarm and say we need to protect our children,” Doucouré explained at a Toronto International Film Festival panel (per The Hollywood Reporter).She added: “It’s bold, it’s feminist, but it’s so important and necessary to create debate and try to find solutions, for me as an artist, for politicians and parents.
