I'm slightly uncomfortable with the level of hate people are directing at this film, even though it's mostly Netflix's marketing's fault The movie is a satire by a Senegalese-French woman and former refugee based on her experiences, and it's not pro-child sexualizationhttps://twitter.com/Independent/status/1296407318016532481 …

It sounds like Maïmouna Doucouré had positive intentions, and the people saying "Everyone behind this movie should be thrown in jail!" aren't helping the discourse But still, I dunno, it's a complicated questionhttps://www.cineuropa.org/en/interview/390968 …

This is a raw topic after all the discussion of Shane Dawson and his shameless sexualization of his tween audience (which he defended as "satire") I think it matters that Maïmouna Doucouré is a woman herself, and this movie is rated TV-MA and not intended for children to watch
