Netflix Cuties Movie Controversy, Social Media Impact on Youth
The French film "Cuties" on Netflix has sparked intense backlash and calls for cancellation due to its depiction of young girls. While critics label the film as exploitative, others argue it is a critique of how social media and "hyper-sexualized" media culture affect 12-year-old girls. The film's director intended to highlight the pressure social media likes and filters place on immigrant youth in France.
