Critics Consensus

A thoughtful look at the intricacies of girlhood in the modern age, Cuties is a coming-of-age film that confronts its themes with poignancy and nuance.

Doucouré made this from a very personal place. The keenest parts explore the push/pull of her Muslim upbringing.

We need more feminist stories like Cuties that illuminate the constraints girls and women face and help us chart a path to full gender equality.

In both horrific scenes and adorable ones, what remains consistent is Doucouré's honesty.

Sometimes uncomfortable and others too radical, Cuties is an eye-opener with an inspired ending, despite the troublesome scenes we witnessed seconds earlier.

Sometimes I have the feeling that sobriety is absent and the complaint material remains in a repetitive field that only adds questions insignificantly. [Full review in Spanish]

I know the point of the film is to make a critic, but the execution is simply sickening and contradicts its own message by exposing underage actresses

I'm baffled by those who are giving this movie a bad review because it made them feel "uncomfortable." No kidding! It's supposed to make you uneasy, since it's focusing on one of the most disturbing trends in modern American culture: the sexualization of prepubescent children. It's also clear that many of the negative reviews were written by people who never bothered to actually watch the movie. If they had, they would have found a poignant and powerful argument that the innocence of children must be cherished and protected.
