Babyteeth

If you want a great cry, this movie will get the job done.

Heart wrenching and poetic. Subtle and real.

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

It lacked substance, there were so many plot angles that lacked resolution, purpose or conflict. The movie was unoriginal and not unique, a pretty basic concept for a story, that attempted to work in individuality that was boring and basic. Had no empathy for the characters, their choices resulted in their downfall and it wasn't pleasant to watch. A completely boring and unmotivated movie.

What a sweet, sweet movie. The acting was top notch. It is a different kind of coming of age story that has so many themes that it is messy, but oh so worthwhile to get in the muck. There are some veterans in this film: Essie Davis and Ben Mendelsohn who play the parents of Milla (Scanlen). They were great in their roles. Essie Davis especially. Then there is the stars (Scanlen and Wallace) and they stole the whole show. I had never seen Wallace before, but his part as the drug addicted and drug dealing boyfriend was believable from the start. Scanlen was deserving of honors for her portrayal of the cancer victim high school student that was teaching all around her to let go and find grace in this life. I loved how Milla, knowing she was dying could of cared less about the "bad decisions" that others felt she was making, and looked to take care of Moses even after she was gone.

This film really blew me away. The writing, the performances, the direction etc were exceptional. The characters were so rich and nuanced. Though cancer was underneath everything in the story, it was the relationships that really told this story.

An absolutely beautiful movie. While on this journey with a completely dysfunctional family, you will be rooting for love that goes against your better judgement, and despite the ending being completely predictable from the start, there is not a single moment of stagnation.

(Spoilers) This was the saddest ****** film I've ever seen. It was devastating. I really only clicked on it to see the hot guy, but I had no idea how beautiful and moving it would be, I mean the acting, the cinematography, everything was just incredible. I think what struck me most about the film that everything was so incredibly deep - he wasn't just a drug addict, he was a MAJOR drug addict, so bad his mother wouldn't even talk to him- and they had to take him in because their daughter didn't have much time left. It's like through him, they all had to come to terms with what was happening with their daughter, because it became clear how important it was that she lived her life in the present. This film was devastating, the writing was incredible, I've never cried so much from a film. It also made me really want to live in Australia they're just so talented there.

This Toby is something special

I saw the original play of this in Sydney many years ago and was blown away by it then, I have to say the movie is just as perfect.
