USA Today: "director Maïmouna Doucouré deftly takes on the hypersexualization of little girls by uncomfortably putting it right in your face."

Rolling Stone: "a sensitive portrait of growing pains that deserves to be seen" https://www.rollingstone.com/movies/movie-reviews/cuties-movie-review-1056197/
The Telegraph: "Forget the moral panic – Netflix’s controversial French import is disturbing and risqué because that’s exactly what it aims to be" https://www.telegraph.co.uk/films/0/cuties-netflix-reviewa-provocative-powder-keg-age-terrified/
The Daily Beast: "Cuties is a fascinating feat of filmmaking that deserves to be defined on its own merits" https://www.thedailybeast.com/cuties-the-coming-of-age-film-that-landed-netflix-in-hot-water-is-this-months-must-watch
LA Times: " Self-styled internet moralists immediately jumped on the film (sight unseen, of course) and called for its removal, essentially likening “Cuties” to child pornography and spurring Netflix to yank the image and apologize for its mistake." https://www.latimes.com/entertainment-arts/movies/story/2020-09-08/cuties-review-maimouna-doucoure-netflix
New York Times: "Reviewers at Sundance didn’t see the film as fetishistic either. 'The sight of twerking preteen bodies is explicitly designed to shock mature audiences into a contemplation of today’s destruction of innocence,'” https://www.nytimes.com/2020/08/21/movies/netflix-cuties.html
Vulture: "it’s also a delicate work that strikes a very careful balance in its portrait of the world, and that balance is upset if a viewer is more worried about social propriety than the truth of lived experience." https://www.vulture.com/article/movie-review-netflixs-cuties-a-moving-coming-of-age-drama.html
ABC News: "Forget the poster, though. The film from director Maïmouna Doucouré is a thoughtful and poignant coming-of-age drama about Amy, an 11-year-old Senegalese immigrant living in Paris." https://abcnews.go.com/Entertainment/wireStory/week-cuties-unpregnant-fresh-jeopardy-72879567
