• Netflix's September 2020 releases list is packed full of big premieres, including some of the most hotly anticipated original Netflix films of the year.
• Mixed in with all the high-profile productions is an award-winning movie called Cuties that has become one of the most controversial films of 2020.
• The movie was just released by Netflix this past week — and it has already been banned in at least one country.

On top of that, two of the most noteworthy original Netflix movie premieres of 2020 are coming this month: Enola Holmes starring Millie Bobby Brown and Henry Cavill, and The Devil All the Time starring Tom Holland and Robert Pattinson.

Mixed in with all those big-budget productions and eagerly awaited shows is a Netflix original film that has been getting plenty of attention for all the wrong reasons. Cuties burst onto the scene as a powerful, award-winning independent French film. Now it has been mired in controversy — even banned in one country — and the fault lies entirely with Netflix. Cuties was finally just released after a tumultuous couple of weeks, so now Netflix subscribers can see what all the fuss was about.
