Critics Consensus

Powerfully acted and sensitively directed, Babyteeth offers audiences a coming-of-age story that's messier -- and more rewarding -- than most.

5/5

Mendelsohn and Davis are old pros, but he hasn't been anything like this good since Mississippi Grind five years ago, and it's hard not to credit this partly to her, a scene partner who's one of the best in the business.

Babyteeth is authentic and unexpected, thanks to both [director Shannon] Murphy's confident style and the nuanced script from Rita Kalnejais ...

5/5

The kind of skittish, reckless film-making that makes you want to rush headlong into bad decisions and savour every last messy moment of the fallout.

Much of Babyteeth's vitality can be located in the way each of the central characters is so fully realized.

4/5

Shannon Murphy’s devastatingly honest, surprisingly fun coming-of-age cancer drama Babyteeth captures the absurdity of life.

5/5

Babyteeth leaves you with the feeling of pure elation and palpable regret. Shannon Murphy’s debut feature will surely be remembered as one of the year’s very best films.

A magnificent first movie, at the same time funny, smart and incredibly sad. Intelligent use of a chapter structure that allows also commentary with the selection of some of the titles. The situations feel real. The director wisely makes a retroactive review with the selection of the last chapter. Very nice photography and music. A Love Story for the ages.
