Oh yeah, Netflix, the director etc have all said this is meant to show the effects of hypersexualization and social media on young women.
It’s literally meant to be an “eye opener” type film that exposes the pressures young woman face to sexualize themselves as part of their personal identity.
I’ll admit, it’s a fine line when making a film about disturbing content without glorifying it. This filmmaker failed miserably and to make it worse, Netflix doubled down by marketing the movie on its sexualization! It’s impossible to pretend they didn’t see it, they based the advertising on it.
