Yeah in terms of what's purely shown onscreen this movie's content is exactly the same level of bad as Toddlers and Tiaras or Dance Moms, and people trying to make it out to be so much worse are kind of telling on themselves

Miss Teen USA *actually is* the kind of thing Cuties is satirizing, *in real life*, but they don't bring that up because it was run by their hero Donald Trump (And for all their attacks on France as a nation of perverts France banned underage pageants and we haven't)

The movie *alludes* to things happening that are worse than Dance Moms, that it does not actually show, like Amy going on to actually post nudes online etc That's the point, it's to attack the "innocent" dance competitions and argue they're not actually innocent

It was so good to show that part (not the actual nude, but the subject) because it crossed a line even for Amy’s peers that she seemed clueless about. People don’t realize that their negative view of Amy’s actions (and the movie) is reflected in the movie.

Yeah, the movie isn't purely this message of "Oh child sexualization is bad", it's *particularly* bad for Amy because of this toxic collision between her parents thinking keeping her ignorant is protecting her but being surrounded by it anyway

Which is very much something parents don't want to hear Like part of the point of the movie is Amy's mom thinking she can just keep her from knowing sex even exists until she's an adult is a horrible idea doomed to failure and setting her up for incredible harm

So yeah it's predictable that the purity parent brigade would react badly not just to the controversial means the movie uses to convey its message but the message itself, that one of the "bad guys" in the movie is "a mother just trying to keep her child safe"

Yes. Pure irony how conservative her home life was and the messages of women being “duty bound” falling flat. It was interesting for the mother to have her own character arc realizing the conservative constraints were becoming to much.

Cuties is an expansion of a previous short film Doucouré did, Maman(s) ("Mom(s)") which is just about the subplot in Cuties about Amy's dad taking a second wife I'm not clear whether this literally happened to Doucouré growing up but it's a topic that's obviously stuck with her
