Critics Consensus

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

Read Critics Reviews

Tim Robey

Daily Telegraph (UK)

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.

Rated: 5/5

Crooked Marquee

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

Wendy Ide

Observer (UK)

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.

Rated: 5/5

Vague Visages

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

Loud and Clear Reviews

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

Ready Steady Cut

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.

First time I've cried in a movie before. These are the special moments in life… where you open up a gem by accident, and it becomes one of the most impactful movies you have watched. Brilliant
