Cuties Ratings & Reviews
indieWire
IndieWire Staff
Growing up is hard enough, and "Cuties" knows that - until it doesn't.
RogerEbert.com
Monica Castillo
With Cuties, Doucouré announces herself as a director with a keen visual style who's unafraid to explore these cultural and social tensions.
Salon.com
Bernadette Barton
We need more feminist stories like Cuties that illuminate the constraints girls and women face and help us chart a path to full gender equality.
Mashable
Angie Han
In both horrific scenes and adorable ones, what remains consistent is Doucouré's honesty.
The New Yorker
Richard Brody
"Cuties" dramatizes what people of color and immigrants endure as a result of isolation and ghettoization, of not being represented culturally and politically -- and of not being represented in French national mythology.
Los Angeles Times
Justin Chang
Youssouf darts through the picture with a vigor, unpredictability and emotional openness that reminded me of nothing so much as one of the Dardenne brothers' caution-defying young protagonists.
Slant Magazine
Pat Brown
Maïmouna Doucouré has a remarkable grasp of the irrationality and volatility of middle-school social dynamics.
New York Magazine/Vulture
Bilge Ebiri
Cuties certainly deserves to be seen. But it's also a delicate work that strikes a very careful balance in its portrait of the world...
Shadow and Act
Aramide Tinubu
More than a commentary on the predatory behaviors of men, and the adultification of young girls, Cuties is a reminder that young minds are fragile and eager.
The Hollywood Reporter
David Rooney
The elements are put in place... But Doucouré doesn't quite thread those strands into a satisfying conclusion.
Variety
Amy Nicholson
There's a few too many fake-outs to invest in the film's stakes, even as Amy's antics get increasingly egregious.
TheWrap
Carlos Aguilar
Assesses the transition from childhood to adolescence by pointing its lens at an 11-year-old girl at the crossroads of tradition and personal discovery. It's the type of first feature that heralds an indelible directorial voice.
Medium Popcorn
Brandon Collins
I appreciate what the movie was aiming for, and as a directorial debut...but I do think too much was going on and left up for interpretation. It was trying to juggle too many things.
Fox 4 Kansas City
Shawn Edwards
Mean Girls without the Tina Fey silliness, or City of God without the violence...there's a lot to think about in this daring, somewhat-edgy slice of social commentary.
Always Good Movies
Filipe Freitas
... gradually loses strength and focus as it moves forward.
Arts Fuse
Peg Aloi
The film's portrayal of adolescent girls is spot on. The young performers perfectly capture the nastiness as well as the fickle changeability of girls whose identity depends on fleeting moments of approval and praise.
Medium Popcorn
Justin Brown
I got the message behind it. This is a movie about coping, pain, the feeling of loneliness and what it pushes us to seek out...but the dubbing was pretty bad, with some of the voices not syncing up well...
ArtsATL
Steve Murray
Cuties is serious and raises useful questions. If it makes you uncomfortable, it's supposed to.
Tom & Lorenzo
Tom Fitzgerald and Lorenzo Marquez
It's an excellent film I should say because it depicts the pain of childhood... I'm just going to say... I could understand the objections to was how these girls were shot because they are real girls.
Common Sense Media
Jennifer Green
Poignant drama is candid about tween sexuality; language.
