Netflix is facing a criminal charge in the ongoing backlash over 'Cuties,' a French film centered around a 11-year-old girl living in Paris who wants to join a local “free-spirited dance crew.'
"'Cuties' is a social commentary against the sexualization of young children," the statement said."This charge is without merit and we stand by the film."
Critics said the film and its promotional materials sexualized the young girls, equating it with child exploitation or child pornography. The French poster for “Cuties,” or “Mignonnes” in French, was of a group of girls walking on the street holding shopping bags.that he spoke to Netflix employees on the phone and was"unsatisfied" with the company's response to his questions. Lee called on the company to stop its distribution of the film, stating that there was a"moral question" as well as a legal question regarding the film.
