UniFrance is defending Cuties from what they deem to be the "violent" reactions it recieved in the U.S. Netflix has gotten a lot of criticism for their decision to stream Maïmouna Doucouré's movie. Many have complained about the coming-of-age drama over-sexualizing young girls, which in turn caused quite a few viewers to cancel their subscriptions to the streaming service. The French cinema group has come out to denounce what they call "hate messages, insults, and unfounded speculations about the intent of the director and her producers."
