As Tessa Thompson posted on Twitter, she’s seen Cuties and agrees with critics’ praise – the film received an 82% on Rotten Tomatoes and a few awards.
Cuties was written by a French Senegalese Black woman named Maïmouna Doucouré about her own experiences, and it was so beautiful that it “gutted” the Creed actress.
Although she understands the response to Netflix’s marketing of the film, she’s “disappointed” that it may not be getting its due because of this.
