My thoughts on rewatch


I just finished rewatching the film Cuties (2020) on Netflix. My thoughts: I unapologetically love this film, even more than the first time I saw it. Cuties is a powerful and beautiful film that isn't afraid to make some bold choices and take risks. Fathia Youssouf is a revelation and I absolutely loved her beautiful, brave performance. Médina El Aidi-Azouni is fantastic too and the other girls in the film are good too. The film has depth, heart, and is always engaging and compelling. Director Maïmouna Doucouré does a great job of bringing out the humour in some of the film's lighter moments. If you haven't checked this film out yet, I highly recommend it. My rating is a 9/10.

A film about 11 year old girls forming a twerking dance group.

Of course you love it you weird bastard.

- Children are watching pornography on a cell phone. Nothing is shown, little girls are huddled around a phone and talking about what is going on.

- Frequent scenes of 11-year-old girls dancing lewdly where the camera pans in and zooms in on the children's buttocks and midsections (both still in skin-tight clothes) Close up shots of the girls dancing with their leg spread above their head while camera focus on crotch area. These views are fairly frequent.

- Four preteen girls mimic the dance movements they see in hip-hop/rap music videos including: slapping each other's buttocks, kissing their hands and then touching their crotches, rubbing their buttocks together, and making seductive faces while sticking their fingers in their mouth.

- Four 11-year-old girls use one's laptop to access a cam site. The male on the other side is unaware but is disgusted as soon as he realizes their age.

- In one scene, four preteen girls sneak into a laser-tag place and, when caught, try to use provocative dancing to escape punishment. One employee reacts with disgust and scolds his manager, who is clearly entertained by the movement.

- Two young girls in bed view the dance routine of a rival dance team. One (considerably older) girl from the rival team, Sweety Swag, lifts her shirt and bra and fully exposes her right breast.

- In an Islamic cleansing ritual Amy is wearing underwear and a camisole top as her mother and aunt splash her with water. You can almost see through her top at one point she then starts shaking and dancing with thrusting hips.

- Amy has her first period. A lot of blood is shown through her pants but nothing graphic is visible.

- Amy's little brother is shown naked in a bathtub.

- There is visible nudity of children in the film, and the dance sequences and innuendos are highly suggestive and explicit.

- Amy's pants are pulled down by a bully who then takes a picture of her underwear and posts it online to humiliate her

Parts of that description are exaggerated and inaccurate. There is no child nudity in the film.

I love it because it is a well made film.

No way this film is a 9.

It's a 5 at best. I gave it a 4 in my review. It just feels like a Lifetime movie. If you're familiar with American television, you'll know what that is. They're very cheesy films that are not very well made.

The acting is probably the only shining moment of the movie. I might watch it again some day but all the kiddie twerking is tough to watch. lol..

I mean, watching movies like Gladiator with people getting their heads chopped off is easier to watch. haha...

Anyhow, here's my review if you want to read it -

Read between the lines. This man is like a pig in mud when watching 'kiddie twerking'.

You saw this shit twice? I haven't even seen it once. Between this and "Cats", I'm revoking your movie watching card.
