Netflix is in hot water following the release of its controversial new film Cuties.

On Thursday, #CancelNetflix began trending on Twitter after many users claimed that the Maïmouna Doucouré-directed film sexualizes children.

Cuties follows Amy (Fathia Youssouf), an 11-year-old girl from Senegal who joins a dance team dubbed “the cuties” at her school and slowly becomes more aware of her blossoming femininity, which causes tension in her traditional family.

“I have cancelled my Netflix subscription. When asked for a reason I wrote: ‘You support paedophilia’. I have not heard back. #CancelNetflix,” wrote one user.

Said another, “Netflix condones Pedophilia. Pass it on. #CancelNetflix.”

In addition, a Change.org petition was launched even prior to the French-language film’s release on Thursday, calling on the streaming platform to remove it. As of Thursday afternoon, the petition has 129,140 signatures.

Netflix didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment.

I just showed my wife what @netflix is promoting…

She immediately canceled her account…

I canceled my account months ago…#CancelNetflix Cancel the social engineers!

Stop sexualizing children. #CancelNetflix

Apparently that pedophilic movie that Netflix released and said the promo was mischaracterised, is as, if not more problematic than we thought. The western world is on a pretty resolute path to normalise pedophiIia. #netflixpedophiles #cancelnetflix pic.twitter.com/wbkMo5Gu38

While the coming-of-age film has been criticized, it’s been praised by many — including film critics – for its handling of sensitive topics. It was also well received at the 2020 Sundance Film Festival, where it won the World Cinema Dramatic Directing Award

Film critic Monica Castillo gave the film four stars in her Rogertebert.com review, and applauded Doucouré for using the storyline to openly criticize the societal pressures young girls face to be overtly sexual.

“The movie is so much more nuanced and bold than the first wave of outrage charged,” Castillo wrote. “With Cuties, Doucouré announces herself as a director with a keen visual style who’s unafraid to explore these cultural and social tensions.”

Actress Tessa Thompson has also spoken out in defense of the film, calling it “beautiful.” “The film comments on the hyper-sexualization of preadolescent girls,” she said. “Disappointed to see the current discourse.”

#CUTIES is a beautiful film. It gutted me at @sundancefest. It introduces a fresh voice at the helm. She’s a French Senegalese Black woman mining her experiences. The film comments on the hyper-sexualization of preadolescent girls. Disappointed to see the current discourse. 😞

Last month, Netflix issued a public apology following backlash over the Cuties marketing poster, with critics claiming that it sexualized children.

“We’re deeply sorry for the inappropriate artwork that we used for Mignonnes/Cuties. It was not OK, nor was it representative of this French film which won an award at Sundance,” Netflix shared on Twitter. “We’ve now updated the pictures and description.”

The controversial poster for the film featured the four young girls dressed in tight, revealing group outfits while striking rather suggestive dance poses.

Cuties also stars Médina El Aidi, Esther Gohourou, Ilanah, Myriam Hamma, Demba Diaw, Maïmouna Gueye and Therese M’Bissine Diop.

Cuties is now streaming on Netflix.

Stillness in the Storm Editor: Why did we post this?

The news is important to all people because it is where we come to know new things about the world, which leads to the development of more life goals that lead to life wisdom. The news also serves as a social connection tool, as we tend to relate to those who know about and believe the things we do. With the power of an open truth-seeking mind in hand, the individual can grow wise and the collective can prosper.

What is our mission? Why do we post what we do?

Our mission here is to curate (share) articles and information that we feel is important for the evolution of consciousness. Most of that information is written or produced by other people and organizations, which means it does not represent our views or opinions as managing staff of Stillness in the Storm. Some of the content is written by one of our writers and is clearly marked accordingly. Just because we share a CNN story that speaks badly about the President doesn’t mean we’re promoting anti-POTUS views. We’re reporting on the fact as it was reported, and that this event is important for us to know so we can better contend with the challenges of gaining freedom and prosperity. Similarly, just because we share a pro/anti-[insert issue or topic] content, such as a pro-second amendment piece or an anti-military video doesn’t mean we endorse what is said. Again, information is shared on this site for the purpose of evolving consciousness. In our opinion, consciousness evolves through the process of accumulating knowledge of the truth and contemplating that knowledge to distill wisdom and improve life by discovering and incorporating holistic values. Thus, sharing information from many different sources, with many different perspectives is the best way to maximize evolution. What’s more, the mastery of mind and discernment doesn’t occur in a vacuum, it is much like the immune system, it needs regular exposure to new things to stay healthy and strong. If you have any questions as to our mission or methods please reach out to us at [email protected].
