Broadly speaking, Doucouré’s film is about the 11-year-old girl, Amy (Fathia Youssouf), who to get away from family problems begins to bailar twerk. In that, she discovers that the more she sexualizes her image in. social networksThe more popularity he achieves, even if he knows nothing about sex.
For Etxebarria, the film manages to criticize so much “to Islamic religious society as hypersexualized neoliberal society“and catalogs it as”a feminist movie“.
However, in much of Europe and other countries of the world, a boycott of Netflix and Doucouré began, something that the writer describes as unfair, since “the authors often do not have control over the posters and advertising of our works” .
Specialized critics, for their part, have given it good marks, such as Rotten Tomatoes with 82% in its tomatometter, although IMDb just achieve a star in the note that users put precisely.
