(New York Post) Netflix co-CEO Ted Sarandos has defended “Cuties,” the controversial French film accused of sexualizing children, insisting the flick is “misunderstood” in America.
“The film speaks for itself,” Sarandos said of the documentary that’s prompted a Texas grand jury to indict Netflix for allegedly promoting “lewd visual material” of a child last month.
“It’s a very personal coming of age film, it’s the director’s story and the film has obviously played very well at Sundance without any of this controversy and played in theaters throughout Europe without any of this controversy.”
