      It’s never suggested they’ve choreographed their own dance routine. They copy a music video move for move. The camera work is used to show the audience just how horrifying it looks when young girls feel compelled to emulate the suggestive material they’re constantly exposed to.

      I don't believe it's very likely that a group of 11 year olds would achieve that level of coordination without supervision. It takes discipline. Its not completely impossible but its highly unlikely. The point is this is fiction not social realism...

      I don't see what the movie being "unrealistic" has to do with anything one way or another, of course it's unrealistic

      It's supposed to be a satire, it's an exaggeration of modern social trends, that's the whole point Satire is difficult and often fails, and you can argue Cuties did fail, but saying the movie should've been an accurate look at a children's dance crew is a ridiculous criticism

      It's literally the same thing as the ending of Little Miss Sunshine The point of the ending of that movie is no one would actually literally have a preteen girl strip and pole dance onstage, and the judge is horrified and the audience is disgusted and they try to shut it down

      Just as in Cuties the idea is Amy is so sheltered she doesn't know the dance moves she's stealing from music videos are considered risqué even for adults, she becomes popular among the Cuties as the edgy "bad girl", and they also horrify the judges and get shut down

      That's the joke, they innocently looked at the whole point of a dance competition and "took it too far" The idea that a kid who doesn't know anything would see "normal" dancing, provocative "sexy dancing" and actual porn as all being on a continuum, the same basic kind of thing

      And we "know" it's different and in fact get really heated about the difference - a "legitimate" dancer would get really upset and angry about being compared to a stripper or sex worker - but that's because adults are too smart for our own good and filled with hypocrisies

      You can agree or disagree with this message but it seems like a pretty obvious message to me, and a lot of the anger here feels like it's because it does hit close to home Like here you are fervently arguing only a creep could possibly find anything sexual about Dance Moms

      Oh the anyone who thinks it's noncery is a nonce argument. Good luck with that one.

      I'm saying that Cuties is really obviously a satire against shows like Dance Moms, like the Cuties literally are a dance crew like the one on that show (if an "unrealistically" unsupervised one) Your argument that there's no possible comparison between the two is weak

          There is but that doesn't really ameliorate that this is right on the edge of what you can legally watch without a visit from Police Constable Plod.

          The point of the movie is that it's a collision between the glitzy glamorous world of something like Dance Moms and the genuinely unsupervised and anarchic world of TikTok and Instagram, that shit like this actually is all over the place online where most adults don't look

          In Cuties there were no parents involved in the dance activity. This alone is a searing indictment against dance mom culture in the US where the moms/parents are involved at every level. They KNOW what’s going on.

          Right, the argument the movie is making is that the adults who "protect" kids in real dance crews aren't really protecting the kids but just providing plausible deniability, covering their own asses while they make bank off of exploitation, but it's all really the same thing
