I watched it last night and I did think it was a good film. This is me watching, considering the dance scenes:

Well there is nothing here that hip hop crews don't do except the girls are dressing sexily.

Now the main girl Ami is watching a video of adult women doing stripper stuff and twerking and she's entranced. Ugh. Don't watch that video little girl!

Now Ami has joined the Cuties. She's showing her moves. Ok ok OH NO WAIT WHAT ARE YOU DOING NO NO SWEETIE DON'T HUMP THE FLOOR no not that finger in the mouth thing OH dear God no.

It's very similar to the scene in Miss Sunshine where the little girl uses the stripper moves her grandfather's girlfriend taught her, in terms of making you want to rush and warn the kid that it's not for kids. Except these girls are more confidently adult in their presentation and the scenes go on too long.

Watching it I saw a girl without solid guidance about how to navigate being a girl in a way that works for her. It's either early arranged marriage or wild girl freedom that in her hands becomes overly sexual. She doesn't know the rules the way her friends do.

At the end she finds escape in childlike fun.

It's a difficult film but a few cuts would work.
