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!

“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

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.

girl really fell in love with james franco in spring breakers

so perfect it hurts

also maybe the only movie i’ve watched and thought “thank god it’s long”

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.

this was specifically designed for me and i hate it but i love it.

yet another eliza scanlen beach scene that had me sobbing

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

I told everyone that when eliza scanlen gets a leading role then you would see and boy was I right !!!! utterly mesmerising performances and a beautiful story to go along with it, don't mind me over here i'm just CRYING LIKE A LITTLE BITCH WOW

eliza scanlen emotional beach scene cinematic universe rise!!!!!

9.0/10

Surprisingly inventive and nuanced. The performances were fantastic all around and the script lays everything on the table, and knows when to be vulnerable and when to have fun. In a word, beautiful.

Absolutely beautiful 💔💔💔💔

I guess I just didn't get it. When i was told that it was about a 16 year old girl dying of Cancer who falls in love with a 23 year old drug addict, i was very cynical about how this could be anything except extremely cringey. And lo and behold I found it so. All the characters felt slightly surreal to me. Possibly the young man's mum was the most real character in it and I felt so sorry for her and her family. The guy who played the druggy was pretty damn convincing.

I really liked this one. It's not a regular stupid lovestory movie furthermore it's one to think about.

that one scene. is one of the most heartbreaking scenes i've ever seen. thank you for this weird, confusing gift that stirred up a whole lot of emotions. going to the theatre for the first time in 7 months was pretty fun also. and i probably won't get that chance again for a long time.
but i'm happy that babyteeth was that gift and i'm just way too unmotivated to put into words how conflicted i am with this but i can say it contained some of the most fucking amazing scenes i've seen in a coming of age and i think about them constantly.
the way they used music I WON'T DEBATE IT cheesy bUT Fuck

Twas a bit touching. Has plenty of talent, chemistry, style and engagement to stave off the overly convenient plotting. Mendelsohn’s energy is particularly affecting (when is it not?) Soundtrack has some bangerz, like this one: youtu.be/KLPGMb35ubk

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

absolutely amazing film

A beautiful and heart wrenching story of a girl and a boy and all the fucked up stuff in between.

shines most when we can just focus on scanlen and wallace. not that the parents story isn’t fascinating in its own way, it’s just not as easy to be interested in when the younger couple is so clearly charismatic and compelling. loved eliza in this.

I watched this two days ago and am still thinking about it. I love love love this film. It is the perfect balance between funny and sad. 

Also, this might be my favourite house in a movie ever.

Babyteeth é um olhar circundado para esse "dente de leite" prestes a cair, envolto somente por quem o circunda com suas subjetividades próprias...
