Netflix is receiving more backlash on social media after the French film 'Cuties' debuted on the streaming platform Wednesday.
Initial criticism for “Cuties” began last month when the promotional poster for the movie in the U.S. was introduced on social media. While the French poster for the film shows a group of girls walking on the street holding shopping bags, the U.S. poster features the group of girls posing in revealing two-piece dance costumes. Variety reported that an onslaught of online criticism followed, including many saying that the poster sexualizes children.
"We're deeply sorry for the inappropriate artwork that we used for Mignonnes/Cuties," Netflix said via a statement on Twitter."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." 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.Netflix subsequently took down the original promotional poster for the film and replaced it following the controversy.
