The release date set for the film is 9 September 2020. Because of the popularity and great story of the film Netflix purchased the rights to release it in its platform. However, there was controversy because of the poster. Many claimed that the poster sexualized eleven-year-old girls. The original poster showed the girls laughing with shopping bags however Netflix released a poster where the girls are wearing tight clothes.

So it was different than the poster originally released at the France festival.  Many people petitioned to remove the poster. The followers of the QAnon conspiracy theory did not like the film and asked Netflix to remove the film altogether. However many actors supported the film calling it beautiful. In response to the controversy, Netflix updated the poster stating that it was not a clear description of the film.

The director of the film Maïmouna Doucouré received a lot of death threats because of the film. But she was not aware of the release of the controversial poster at that time. But later the Co-CEO of Netflix called her and apologized to her regarding the matter.
