Interesting take, I'd have to actually see the movie to agree/disagree and I'm not sure I want to. Depending on the messaging in the movie it could go either way. Like is the film highlighting and condemning these things? Or is it highlighting and then watching this girl descend into debauchery hoping the audience disapproves of it? In this fucked up timeline you simply can't expect the audience to react as you'd hope they would, you really need to drive home the message you're attempting to deliver or else the rampant subjectivists will have their way with you.
I'm in the same boat as you with regards to watching it.
From what I gathered from the twitter thread it seems like the movie is actually trying to portray everything in a negative way. It ends with the kid breaking down and the final shot is of her in jeans and a long sleeve t-shirt jump roping with other kids her age, so the end message is pretty clear.
I'm just not sure about the approach it takes to get there.
Its still pretty fucked up in a sense though. Netflix could never have advertised this movie as a warning against 11yr olds getting sexual and abandoning their cultural traditions and morality, instead they had to run with everything we've seen so far.
