While receiving generally positive reviews from critics for its ambition and acting as well as receiving accolades, it became a subject of controversy, starting from Netflix's initial promotional poster that was widely considered inappropriate.

The film's ensemble cast is led by Fathia Youssouf who portrays Amy, a Senegalese-French girl with a traditional Muslim upbringing who is caught between traditional Muslim values and Internet culture when she joins a twerking dance crew.ĭoucouré was inspired to write the script upon seeing a suggestive youth talent show one day, as well as from her experience as a Senegalese-French person. Was angry enough with Redbox to try & figure out a way to get my dollar back for renting this absolute trash.Cuties ( French: Mignonnes) is a 2020 French coming-of-age drama film written and directed by Maïmouna Doucouré in her feature directorial debut. One of those exercises where one wonders how can this much talent not know they are making such fowl stank degradation? This is visual vomit makes the standard for cinema garbage (bad Adam Sandler movies) seem like classics. Pathetically attempts to be campy, but ends up being like that decomposing dairy based dessert one left out and forgets for summer weeks on end in the darkness of pantry & ala Homer Simpson attempts to ingest only to succumb to a mixture of rotten photodegradation as product is brought to the light of critical view & end result: subsequent mixture of poor filmmaking & green bile.
