Won’t unsubscribe as I do like most of Black Critic Guy’s reviews, this felt like a big slip up. I have heard many people try to say “it’s a social commentary against sexualization of children.” With me...I don’t care if there was perhaps a message that the director put in that was supposed to be heartfelt. The moment that 11 year old children were selected for these roles, that turned me off.

There is no way that anyone of sound mind could ever defend a film that has the camera linger on suggestive shots of the young actresses and still claim it to be art. It is indefensible.

Further Thoughts on BCG’s Cuties Review

While I already briefly mentioned Black Critic Guy and his review of Cuties, but I feel I wasn’t as elaborate as to why I disliked it. 

1) Calling the film one of the best ones of 2020...really? Sure because of tough times there wasn’t much in the way of actual releases, but come on...this is the one that you could definitively say was one of the best films of this year? I personally would’ve said The Invisible Man was one of my personal favorites of this year, but go on. 

2) Blaming Netflix entirely for the controversy. Oaky. Sure, I agree that Netflix should be held accountable for distributing the film on their platform and I completely supported the #CancelNetflix movement and am pleased that their stocks were hit hard because of them deciding to still release the film despite the backlash, but you should also blame the film crew and largely the director  Maïmouna Doucouré. Tony, did you know that they auditioned roughly 700 young girls to do the dances? Tony, are you completely okay with the idea that the parents of these girls allowed their children to star in these roles? Do you have any idea how much of a bad rap that would put on them as they got older? Tony, if you ever had children, would you find it acceptable that your daughter audition for one of these roles on the grounds of its “artistic merit?” 

3) Saying that the film never sexualizes the girls. Are you serious, Tony? To begin with, I am not saying that BCG is a pedophile just because he thought the film was okay. Really, the word had been tossed around so much it had nearly lost its meaning. Accusing someone of that act can potentially destroy that person’s life if there is no evidence and it makes it harder on the real cases of pedophilia where the victim is less likely to confess that they are being harmed. I fully understand the message and I can even say that it is important. Children are being exposed to sex and other unsavory things. But the message is badly botched because it sets out doing what it preaches as being wrong: sexualizing children. There are crotch shots, underage twerking...and, really...how are you going to defend scenes like Amy trying to entice her cousin or the condom moment? Even if you try to claim that there is a message, Tony, at the least you could admit that these scenes not only fail to convey it, but border on being softcore CP. 

4) Artistic merit...it’s funny how BCG bashes snooty, pretentious film critics when he is doing exactly what he criticizes them for. BCG, no one is saying that the film was not competently put together. But again it seems like your problem that people have with the movie is the story. There are other shows and movies that have done similar ideas to this one and they do it much better. To be frank, I can see South Park doing something akin to the movie. And once again, I do agree that the message is an important one. But as I have been saying for what seems to be an eternity, the movie fails to fully achieve that intended purpose by shooting itself in the foot. Kind of unrelated but worth pointing out: I am black, but I do not care that a black woman directed the film because I think she is a horrible person for even coming up with the concept. And much like BCG himself, she cannot take criticism. 

5) But yes, despite always saying he isn’t the end all be all when it comes to discussing films, BCG had been shown deleting comments critiquing his analysis of the review. Sure you could say that a lot of them were hostile like telling him to go to Hell or whatever...but many of those comments were also well-meaning and show that they were long time watchers of his and were positively disagreeing with his interpretation.
