Sometimes movies have to tell an uncomfortable story, sometimes movies have to depict uncomfortable trurh. Despite all storytelling shortcomings Cuties has - I can agree that it at least has a valid point about children oversexualization these days. But you don't have to depict it so bluntly! Some may say that this is the point, you have to watch it and think to yourself: "Damn, this is sickening". But this is just mental gymnastics at its finest. You don't have to depict a litetal murder to tell that "murder is bad", you don't have depict real, unacted abuse, rape, torture to say that these things are bad! I get it, maybe Cuties story never could've worked if they haven't depicted oversexualizing scenes. But if that's the case - this movie shouldn't even exist. It should be a book, an animation with adult actors, whatever. Just something that doesn't take this message too far into reality.
