Netflix movie Cuties (2020) has caused controversy and became a subject of intense social networking ire when Netflix released a poster showing four scantily clad young women striking suggestive dance poses.

It wasn't OK, nor was it representative of the French film which won an award at Sundance. We have now updated the pictures and description."
Within an interview with Time Magazine, Maïmouna Doucouré said"For me, this movie is sounding an alarm," she told Time. "This film attempts to show that our children should have enough opportunity to be children, and we as adults should protect their innocence and keep them innocent as long as you can."
The movie's protagonist is 11-year-old Amy, who is a Senegalese Muslim woman and grew up in Paris at the poor neighborhood, then she joins the local dance group. Amy lives with her mum Mariam and two small brothers at a bad Parisian neighborhood.
Amy learned that her dad was prepared to bring a second spouse to home. Additionally, she joined the twerking troupe who call themselves"Cuties" and quickly befriends the group's leader, Angelica. In one of those scenes, Amy hides in her hijab, pulls out her stolen phone, and secretly watches movies of strippers twerking.

She's based on my own story. I had all of these questions too about how to become a woman."
