Honestly, not trying to defend the movie here, but i doubt it fall under Exploitation of a minor when their point of view as being ''artistic rendering of what real young girls can go through'' will probably be accepted by most judges with maybe a slap on the hand as reprimand.<br>And let's not talk about it being Child porn, that's just silly now.<br>But... the fact that it may have been legal to produce it, doesn't mean they should... that's just sick and Netflix should have been wiser than to buy it from that french director, who is a woman mind you, but dear god.... what a bad idea.,(reply>), @Elvick Honestly, last time i checked... Lolita, Manhathan and Kids (all movie names) sparked as much controversy when they came out years ago, and yet, they'Re still publicly available from most U.S. streaming services.  <br>And yes, the movie Kids was BY FAR way worst, like.... i haven't seen cuties, but most resume are mild compared to that.,(reply>), @Elvick indeed, hence the part where i imply even if they could, they probly shouldn't. But legal-wise however, i am fairly certain they can get away with it easy.
