“I’m gonna enjoy becoming part of a sky like this Dad.”
eliza scanlen has the RANGE this was so fresh and fun and i could just tell it was going to break my heart.. i laughed, i cried (still crying a little bit right now tbh) it was all done so well and felt so real! you truly feel every laugh, every smile, every tear and every feeling in every look. the performances were brilliant and ah i’m so obsessed with all the little chapter titles!!!!!! that ending too??? i’m such a mess?? wow i sure did fall pretty hard for this film

so perfect it hurts
also maybe the only movie i’ve watched and thought “thank god it’s long” -
Eliza Scanlen is so criminally underrated. But I guess that‘s about to change, because you can see with every project how much potential and greatness lies in her. She is a revalation, one break out star on the come up. Can‘t wait what she is doing next!

Rooted to the bloody tissue of real life and enameled with traces of early Jane Campion, “Babyteeth” is the kind of soft-hearted tearjerker that does everything in its power to rescue beauty from pain; the kind that feels like it would lose its balance and tip right off the screen if it stopped being able to walk the line between the two. And yet, despite a handful of shaky moments and a story that sounds like a supercut of all the worst tropes in contemporary independent cinema, Shannon Murphy’s primal and surefooted debut never falls into either mawkishness or sadism. It keeps you on your toes from the moment it starts, brings together a winsome but wounded group of people who are all struggling to slay the “tiny gods” in their heads, and then forces them through an ordeal that might just break their hearts. And yours.

CIFF 2019: film #1
“this body, it’s too much”
too all over the place tor me to take in all at once. very realistic in that sense, but it feels like too much and can’t decide which story it wants to tell most. eliza is magnetic, but otherwise this never quite hit the mark for me

I was not really paying attention at first cause I was playing trivial pursuit and eating potato leek soup but this was mad good

A very charming film. I can understand if some people don't like this film. Also, finally, Tom Rosenthal is getting more recognition and it's thanks to this film. His music is perfect. If you have never heard of Tom Rosenthal, I highly recommend going on YouTube, Spotify, Apple music, or anything you have to listen to music and check him out, he is incredible.
