** A Google search for the movie lists it with an NC-17 rating in its information panel, however the movie was never rated by the UsefulNotes/MotionPictureAssociation (MPA) since it was initially released exclusively in France. Even when it was released to the US, Creator/{{Netflix}} just slapped it with a TV-MA label, proving the MPA had no involvement.

** There are people and news outlets online who claim this film was made by (or for) Netflix. While it is branded as a "Netflix Original" film, that's only because the streaming service acquired the distribution rights for it (something which series' such as ''Series/TheGoodPlace'' also have attached despite being made Creator/{{NBC}}) -- Netflix had nothing to do with this films' production, let-alone had any influence the films' themes or plot, despite what people tried to suggest. What Netflix ''did'' do however, was misrepresent the film via advertising, which lead to this sentiment and subsequent controversy.

* NoDubForYou: The film only was dubbed to western languages, outside its native French: English, Spanish (Latin American and European), German, Italian, Brazilian Portuguese, Polish (voice-over translation only), and Turkish (although it was never released due to the film being banned in the country). Possibly due to the controversy behind the film, it wasn't dubbed to ''any'' Asian language, even those from countries which traditionally had more tolerance to the controversial aspects of it, such as those from the Sinosphere (China, Taiwan, Japan, Thailand and South Korea).

* AudienceAlienatingPremise: An interesting case for sure. It was popular in its native France and it's story of a young Muslim girl rebelling against her conservative, strict, restrictive-for-women native Senegalese culture is based on the experiences of the film's director. Then Netflix bought the U.S. distribution rights and then caused one of the most disastrous, needlessly self inflicted wounds in the ''history'' of films. It promoted the film as a sexy dance film with ''11 year old girls.'' The original trailer and poster (we won't link but feel free to search with an incognito browser and possibly a VPN) were both unrepresentative of the film and wildly sexualized. The poster for example, features the four girls in their skimpy dance outfits and one of them ''in mid-twerk.'' Netflix quickly changed the marketing to what the film actually is, but the damage was done and the film is only remembered for the original marketing and is somewhat unfairly considered legalized child porn today (somewhat because the film ''does'' feature sexualized dancing by the young girls and some very squick-ish scenes.)
