Julio J Simplemente esto no está bien Rated 0.5/5 Stars • Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 04/02/24 Full Review Shea S Mignonnes talks about what people are too scared to talk about. It is about the dangers of social media on children and how much it can influence young children to act like adults. It is supposed to make you uncomfortable. It is supposed to make you think that we as a society need to do something. Maïmouna Doucouré is an amazing director and feminist and we need more minds like hers. Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/29/24 Full Review Jeff M I want to make something perfectly clear - despite what you may be hearing on social media, there is not a single, solitary second of exploitation to be found in this surprisingly fantastic and incredibly moving film. With a title that sounds like a bad Disney+ kids movie, I was shocked to witness the most profound, sometimes unsettling and totally enthralling movie about being a young female since Catherine Hardwicke's THIRTEEN (2003). Filmmaker Doucoure treats this material with bravery and stark realism - there are moments almost impossible to watch because of how painfully honest they feel. The controversy seems to surround the frank handling of pre-teen life, particularly the suggestive dancing and clothing (or lack thereof) worn by the young females in this movie as well as a very brief glimpse of nudity that literally lasts one second. But the filmmakers in no way, shape or form use this for exploitation - quite the contrary. These scenes produced feelings of sadness rather than titilation. It broke my heart to see young Amy (an extraordinary performance by Youssouf) and her peers experience the mental, physical and emotional confusion of becoming a young adult. The movie beautifully captures how the youth of today confuse being provocative with being a grown-up. If you've seen a single moment of TODDLER AND TIARAS, nothing that happens here should be surprising. And, to be quite honest, I'm a bit pissed off right now, because I'm afraid the controversy may dissuade many conservative viewers from actually watching and discussing this film. I think anyone who was or has or had a pre-teen girl will find much with which they can relate and share with each other. There are isolated moments here and there that feel a bit much, but when viewed in the context of the film as a whole, it's nearly perfect. There's a lot more I can say - I didn't even have a chance to discuss how Amy's conservative home life and religion impact a good portion of what happens here. A couple scenes between Amy and her mom are just wonderful. Please, please, please do not be swayed from seeing this! It is a vital, important movie - easily one of the best of the year - and I think you'll have a lot to think about and discuss after the subtly beautiful ending. Rated 4.5/5 Stars • Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 03/30/24 Full Review Zach 1 As far as its quality goes, it's not a poorly made movie. It would have so much potential had it not been for the decision to sexualize children. I marveled the cinematography and directing at times, but would squirm in my seat and look away once the dancing scenes popped up. Rated 2/5 Stars • Rated 2 out of 5 stars 11/27/23 Full Review Dave F Do I really need to explain why?
