I also think someone with an agenda wrote the imdb parents guide, as it constantly states that, "Twerking," occurs throughout the film. That single word set a ton of people off.

My POV on these things are that art is art and it is subjective to everyone; get the context and meaning behind it before condemning it (unless it's a snuff film set out to do just that, like that Norwegian film from a few years back; that has no artistic value, IMO) and if the film is blatantly sexualizing children and promoting it, then go ahead and tear it down.

But if it is a deconstruction on what children values are shown as in today's world and it is a critique on liberal Western Culture, as opposed to conservative Muslim Culture, then that is what the film should have its merits based upon.

Either way, I don't (and never will) have Netflix, so I'll never know.

lol yes you will. I am going to watch it this evening with my wife and our renter, who is Haitian. She helps with the nuances in French.
Anyway, I'll report back tomorrow. 

PS just watched the opening sequence, which includes a prayer meeting of hajibbed Muslim women, who are reminded there will be more women than men in hell.  No twerking so far.
