  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!

  Review by davidehrlich ★★★½ 2

  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

  The terminal romance genre is a genre so often occupied by manipulative & schmaltzy trash; however, with Babyteeth, you’ll find a refreshing, wonderfully quirky and heartbreaking teen cancer-romance that isn’t afraid to find comedy in tragic situations. It’s stark and honest in its portrayal of a dysfunctional family who live their daily lives in constant worry of what the future holds, with Murphy capturing that in a way that never feels patronizing or manufactured. This is an incredibly unique and tender debut feature that shows Shannon Murphy has a bright future ahead of her. I can’t wait to watch whatever she’ll be doing next!
