I didn't even know who the director of Cuties was until I saw it in this thread. Can't speak for everyone else, but while I love to support underrepresented groups in any domain... these people are not immune to criticism. They aren't perfect. I'm an immigrant WOC. I'm not perfect, I don't always have perfect execution, and I think it's perfectly valid to criticize my work or anyone's work.
I'm not commenting any more on the movie itself since I haven't watched it so I think it's fair for posters to say, watch it before you form an opinion. But I'm just responding to the race/gender element of this. I will say I am also particularly sensitive to any themes of exploitation of women of color from poor backgrounds (very relevant to this thread actually).
