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.

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

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 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!!!!!

The only reason this movie got such a high rating on RT is because of how subtly they weave her terminal illness into the story. Not really, but I don’t get all the hype with this movie. Just another coming of age story with a lot of themes taken from other movies.

Oof, sad girl hours came early tonight. I loved everything about this movie with the exception of Moses being 23. 18 would have been fine!

THIS FILM IS SO NUANCED!!!! The acting is so fucking good and it's the perfect melancholy mood sprinkled with humor. I can't believe how beautiful this is. Such a colorful cast of characters.

what the fuck was that beach scene? i've cried my eyes out

I wasn't sure how I would go about reviewing this singular little film. Little in the sense it had a kind of humble real life quality that felt so raw and at the same time not inelegant. The story itself is not original but the execution and the style is unique. I am writing this weeks after watching it and still have very specific scenes playing in the back of my mind. One of my favorite sequences was the party night- I realized later that showing Cilla on her own, drinking in the scene, resonated with me but also shows her as a fully realized individual apart from her family and Moses. Babyteeth is full of softly violent, unsettlingly serene real portrayals of love and loss.

GOD I didn't anticipate having a good cry before this but I'm still not sure if it's because this movie was great or I am extremely stressed. Maybe both!

Scanlan is great but for me Toby Wallace, starring here as Australian Slowthai, is unbelievable - a performance that reminded me of Antoine Pilon's character in Mommy, which I completely adored. Also Ben Mendelsohn is aging like a fine wine and I also liked Babadook lady as another depressed mum.

A breath of fresh air for Australian film! It's a film that brings on a rollercoaster of emotions. Toby Wallace was amazing along with Eliza Scanlen. Everytime they were on screen they had me hooked and wanting more of them. I did feel the parents roles in the film were a little overused and could of been cut back.

an unbelievable debut! the cast in this are unrivalled, firing on all cylinders.
folks, we love it when we see a great new Australian film, don’t we?

ladybird for bitches that do pcp

ELIZA SCANLEN U BRILLIANT BITCH

oo umiyak ako and what abt it

:'(
Si bien no entendí el por qué de muchas actitudes de los personajes, logró romperme el corazón y llevarme a todo tipo de sentimientos re lindos y fuertes. Ya al final me había transformado en llanto puro. Las actuaciones, la cinematografia y la narrativa 10, me encantaron los títulos entre escenas y la sutileza de las roturas de cuarta pared.

Esas de las que tardo un rato largo en recuperarme💘

Ow ow ow ow
