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

Publish date: 2024-05-17

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. 

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. We’ve now updated the pictures and description.
