Babyteeth

It’s wild and rebellious and has a remarkable sense of hope as well as heartache, and the theatre material is elevated on the big screen by terrifically moving performances, a sublime soundtrack, and an exciting artistic flair. Read more

So endearing are the central performances here, that if the movie took all four acting categories at the Oscars, it would be difficult to argue against such a sweep. Read more

The intensity of the film rests entirely on Milla. While it has a strong supporting cast in the roles of Moses, Henry, and Anna, none of them are particularly likeable, which leaves every inch of emotional space for Milla. Her cheery wide-eyed optimism, defiance, and yearning to feel everything she possibly can before her clock stops makes this story both gut-wrenching and a tear-jerker. Read more

When the film gets good, it gets really good and leaves you emotionally spent by the time the credits roll. Read more

Avoiding to cut through superficial surfaces of distress, Mrs. Murphy builds a tale of implacable clarity. Babyteeth isn’t perfect, but it feels real, even in moments of chaos. Read more

The whiff of death in coming-of-age dramas has often been reduced to manipulative claptrap, but Murphy takes a bulldozer to that notion with an ambitious narrative that does not allow you to get comfortable. Read more

For me, it just wasn’t engaging enough to be entertaining. It’s billed as a Comedy Drama. While there were a few good comic lines, it rarely made me do more than smile. And as for the drama, I’m afraid tears were far from being spilled. Read more

Kleine drama's spreken mij niet zo vaak aan, maar af en toe zit er een pareltje tussen waardoor ik gegrepen wordt. Babyteeth behoort tot die titels. Doordat de makers de focus op de personages houden en de acteurs zich niet laten verleiden tot melodrama voelt Babyteeth echt aan. Dit zorgt dat ondanks het zware onderwerp de film niet heel zwaar aanvoelt tot het einde welke echt aankomt, maar dat ook bij een drama als dit. Read more

De film stuurt je alle kanten op in emoties; grappig, herkenbaar, authentiek, hartverwarmend en emotioneel. Daarnaast is Babyteeth cinematografisch sterk. De passende soundtrack neemt een mooie rol in de film in. Read more
