I said "if" it is exploitation, which is what makes this complicated. The story is about young girls filming themselves doing "sexy" dances. It sounds messed up and uncomfortable, for obvious reasons.

But guess what—kids start doing those things at that age. If we can't hold a mirror up to them and examine why our culture motivates little girls to do that, we're just lying to ourselves.

My point is that this film is NOT as simple as "look at these little girls being sexy". You should feel uncomfortable watching it.

Have you watched Beasts of no Nation about child soldiers? That is a painful film to watch. This actually sounds like something similar.
