Netflix's Time Cut Criticized for Authenticity

Netflix's new horror film, Time Cut, has drawn significant backlash from millennials and older Gen Z viewers for its inaccurate portrayal of the early 2000s. The film follows a teen who travels back to 2003 to prevent her sister's murder but fails to authentically represent the era's fashion and culture, with critics arguing that it resembles a modern interpretation rather than an accurate depiction. Viewers pointed out the misrepresentation of popular trends, such as the overuse of Ugg boots and the absence of typical hairstyles from the time. Many fans expressed their disappointment on social media, calling for better attention to period accuracy in styling and makeup. The film's release coincided with a promotional teaser showcasing a high school setting that viewers criticized for its bright and overly polished aesthetic. Overall, the response highlights a broader dissatisfaction with how contemporary productions handle nostalgic periods.
