Netflix is no stranger to controversy. But few controversies have received as much attention as the release of Cuties back in 2020. Directed by Maïmouna Doucouré, Cuties follows an eleven-year-old girl named Amy who "starts to rebel against her conservative family’s traditions when she becomes fascinated with a free-spirited dance crew," according to Netflix's synopsis.
Doucouré knew her film would be "uncomfortable to watch." She even explained in an opinion piece that she wanted to start a debate on the sexualization of children. The movie was well-received at the Sundance Film Festival and garnered an 88% rating from critics on Rotten Tomatoes. Then a baffling marketing strategy from Netflix put the movie in the crosshairs.
