Cuties: Cast and Age, Plot, Poster Controversies And the Latest Updates!

The hashtag #CancelNetflix is trending on most of the social networks. Netflix viewers rallied heavily against the release of “Cuties” on Netflix. The movie is simply termed as adultification and sexualization of children or just child pornography.

The matter went so far that U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) has requested the Justice Department to look into Netflix and the makers of the film “Cuties” whether they violated any federal laws against child pornography. He also talked to U.S. Attorney General Bill Barr, for starting a criminal investigation.

Update: A Tyler County, Texas grand jury has been indicted Netflix on the criminal charge that alleges promoting “lewd visual material” of a child.

On August 20 2020, Netflix found itself on a close edge after using an inappropriate poster to promote its coming of age French movie, Cuties. The poster showcased teen girls posing in skimpy outfits, and this attracted criticism. While a French poster promoting the same film shows the girls running while laughing and holding shopping bags, the US version presented the girls wearing tiny shorts and crop tops. Netflix was forced to pull down the poster and apologize for the inappropriate artwork. 

Cuties is a French comedy-drama movie for teens directed and written by Maïmouna Doucouré. The film premiered in several international films, including the Sundance Film festival in February 2020. The film was supposedly meant to make a theatrical release in France on April 1, 2020, but all that was called off due to France’s COVID 19 situation. After the film’s premiere at the Sundance Film festival, Netflix purchased the global rights to release the film on the leading entertainment platform.
