No, this is the first feature length film Maïmouna Doucouré has made, the only one that's been associated with accusations of pedophilia (she's made two short films, including an obvious predecessor to Cuties, that completely lacked the sexual themes of Cuties)

And the director is not a "he", Maïmouna Doucouré is a woman

The reason I know this is a "culture war" issue is you're coming here with such confidence spouting rumor and outright lies as known facts

Where does IMDB say that the movie is “legally defined as pedophilic?”

It doesn't, this is the Facebook meme it extrapolating from the dictionary definition of "pedophilia" "Pedophilic" is not the name of the legal concept, the relevant issue is whether it's "child pornography" and "obscene", which requires that it lack "serious artistic value"

For the record, and I'm not defending these other movies, Cuties is objectively way, way less problematic than earlier well known films like Kids (1995), which features actual sex scenes, or Pretty Baby (1978), which has actual underage nudity

It's not gaslighting if I'm telling you facts, and what I'm saying is there's a ton of distance between "bad" and "illegal"
