This is the first time I've heard of cancel culture or this movie. It's a work of fiction, it's not real, who cares. What I find more disturbing is toddlers and tiaras, that is real... Kinda surreal that American show is fine, yet this movie is an outrage?

I haven't seen the movie so don't know what the problem with it is. Just watched the trailer, no clue why that is over the 'line'. It's just kids imitating the nonsense they see all over social media. Actually I'm impressed at how effective this movie is.

Anyway, not interested, still got enough to watch.

I've seen alot of people saying this on twitter and such, and I'm not sure why. I have yet to see a single person who is criticizing this movie defend Toddlers and Tiaras. Personally I've never watched a single episode of Toddlers and Tiaras and don't intend to, but surely the girls at these child beauty pageants aren't twerking on stage in sexualized outfits? Because that is what the girls in this movie do, among many other sexual things. And the movie might be a work of fiction, but the actors are real girls, and they had to do sexual dancing in sexual outfits in front of adult filming crew and actors for this movie. How is that ok? The movie may be protesting what modern culture does to young girls like the director claims, but in so doing it feeds the very problem she purports to fighting against.


Uhm yeah. just Google the show with twerk appended. That is ok....
Perhaps the director should have just made a documentary about that show!

I'm not sure how it is feeding the problem by exposing the problem. It seems like one big over reaction because people got uncomfortable watching it, very effective. I wonder what Americans think of Wir Kinder vom Bahnhof Zoo.

Ah there's actually an Amazon series in the make, the cast looks a lot older.... Not 13 like in the original. Wow, they're making a lot of changes. Now that's disgusting and disrespectful.
